Unpaid experience writing for a videogame website.
« on: July 12, 2012, 03:38:54 PM »
Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for any aspiring journalists who might want to cut their teeth writing/reporting for our website to gain some experience. We're looking for people who are interested in gaming and the kind of content we are hoping for is news/reviews/previews/videos and blog posts.

If you think you could offer some kind of input in any of those areas I'd like to hear from you. I don't want to beat around the bush, so will state that this is on a volunteer basis unpaid, which I know doesn't cover the bills. So far we've had some volunteers who have written previews and then as a result gained a free copy of that game from the developers for their efforts which isn't exactly huge but it's better than nothing.  

I don't want to be insulting by asking anyone to work unpaid here, so hope I haven't been! I'm just on the hunt for anyone interested and this seemed like a good place to ask. If nobody is interested, no worries and thanks for reading!

Also, sorry I forgot to add this, but if this is the wrong sort of place to ask this kind of question does anyone know any websites/places that might be better suited to my request? Advice would be extremely useful! Thanks in advance.
