To help VGChartz getting better, we're looking to improve the news delivering service

For that, we're looking for new people to join the News team to focus only in delivery gaming news as fast and as professionaly as possible

Those added to the news team will be promoted to Contributor, which grants access to the super secret staff forums along with the added staff bonuses like the possibility to assist gaming events like E3 as staff

We're looking for people with the will and time to collaborate, good writing skills, good responsibilty, and a good history in the forums (we don't require number of posts, just that you've shown to be a good, rational member). Also, an AIM account is indispensable (you can create one now)

If you're fluent in another language, include that, so we know you can get news from more sources

If you think you can do the job, send  an example  of any gaming news you'd like to be posted in the site, either by PM or to my mail address gfranco@vgchartz.com

We're looking for 4-5 people, so it's very likely that if you meet the requirements you can get the position

Can I join the news staff?

What if we have past moderations?

i would so do this but i cant write for my life

If they're old and you showed improvement, I doubt it would be any problem (for example, I would consider you have shown a lot of improvement, so if you had a moderation, it wouldn't be a breaker). The thing that's most important and what we in the News Team are looking for is writing skills and hard work. Knowing you from the DB, you can do the second part pretty well

Much find motivation!

This sounds right up my alley, fun too. Let's give it a shot!

What's the salary?

Deleted cause it's wrong. ~naznatips

I am willing to put myself forward and I have already written a few short news summaries here - Elgefe, Popzara and thekitchensink, you all have approved a few of them.

But, I do have a question about time. I have a demanding day job so will only be free a couple of hours on some evenings (when Im not exhausted or have other activities) and weekends. Will this be sufficient time to qualify to be a contributor?

Also, I do tend to be much more interested in 360 news since thats the only console I own. Again, will it be suitable that more of the articles I write will predominantly be 360 orientated? (Of course I can improve my scope but it will take time).

I hope I get points for being honest! :)

Saying all that though, I will feel much more motivated to writing stuff if I get to be a Contributor and feel closer to the website.
