FYI for all interested in writing / reporting / journalism:
I have discovered that Examiner.com is a great place to publish articles and they are currently recruiting writers.
Think of it as a blog, except that the articles are to be structured more akin to a newspaper.
They pay their writers based on amount of traffic, # of subscriptions (basically, people signing in for email alerts), etc.
To get a taste; here is my site.
You can register with them here.
As you register, you will see a section that asks if an Examiner referred you and that is where you can help a brother out and type in or select “Mariano Grinbank.”
You could be the examiner for your city on virtually any topic you choose. You could be the “Church Examiner,” “Religion Examiner,” “Home School Examiner,” “Parenting Examiner,” “Politics Examiner, “Chinchilla Examiner,” “Taco Examiner,” or what have you.
I have a fellow news photographer that left the paper about the same time I did and he introduced me to Examiner. He has nothing but nice things to say about it. He makes a few dollars a month doing motorcycle things but says even more than the money he enjoys keeping in touch with his photography, especially things to do with motorcycles.
Interesting. Thank you.
Indeed, it is very wide in scope as one can cover virtually any subject they choose.
