Calling All Bloggers

by 13 October 2009 2,752 views Share

Got some extra time? Like to write? I just heard about a few opportunities for all you bloggers out there, which could help you gain experience and exposure while you’re in between jobs, freelancing or trying to figure out what to do with yourself.

Change.org is hiring full-time bloggers to write about social causes from human rights to environmental issues to social entrepreneurship. Best of all, positions are paid and your posts would be viewed by over a million users. Check out the ad here.

MediaBistro also recently launched a user-generated blog “We the ‘Bistro” which allows any one to submit posts via email to a large audience of fellow media professionals. You can submit photos, video or anything relevant to media workers. I just sent in an old Meridian post to the email address post@mediabistro.posterous.com just to get my name out there and see how it works.

I hope to open up Meridian in a similar fashion so that readers can email posts containing their work or musings on issues facing young journalists. We’ve also been talking about starting up a guest post series to add more voices to this blog, so look out for that in the coming weeks!

    Hi Serena,

    If you’re looking for guest bloggers, I’d love to help out. I found your blog through the We the ‘Bistro site, and was immediately intrigued. I am currently an associate editor at a business to business magazine and a full time student working on my Masters of Science in Publishing. Until recently I maintained the blog Words On Publishing (mbreau.wordpress.com) – feel free to check out some of my past work and let me know if you’d be interested in having me guest post!
