d3vilsfire 132 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I am planning on making a sports news website and app. However, I need writers for the articles. I want to focus on the NFL, College Football, NHL, Junior Ice Hockey, and Soccer. I want writers who are willing to do extensive research for their articles. My main goal is to have a website like Bleacher Report, however I want it to be more focused on the listed sports above. I think it would be an interesting adventure that could turn profitable like Bleacher Report did. We could also promote sims like VHL and others, and therefore would be beneficial for VHL to participate. This is an idea I had after the school news website that I wrote for had a power dispute that led to its downfall. I have the tech support to create the website and get the frameworks going, however I am in desperate need of writers. If you are interested, please feel free to pm me. diamond_ace 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/5350-all-sport-writers-writing-opportunity/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devise 4,475 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'd be interested on the NHL side of things. If you were open to exploring more than just sports and wanted to explore film or other forms of media I'd be interesting as well.

The site is under construction.. I hit a "bump in the road" in terms of its construction, but a friend of mine is working with me to help get the site going. Target: anyone interested in reading/discussing about sports and possibly playing sport simulators. Content: Articles of varying length because some events in a particular sport you can only write so much about. Discussion boards. Fulfillment: Content will be from the sports world. We will probably know of something when another site reports it, however we will write our own article about it.. Writers will be recruited and payment is not defined yet. Maybe if we generate enough interest and get advertisements and such we can worry about money, but as of now it is simply going to work off everyone's interest in getting this to work.

probably not noah 346 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I know a lot of online magazines use wordpress.org. It's got a really intuitive CMS and if you pay for the right hosting you can do some pretty good stuff on the back end.
