I am ready to join any venture in creating local news. I am a capable writer with above average capability and means for generating local content. I have applied to every local paper in my area and have never once received a call/email back. I won't stop trying, but if anyone here is attempting a project even remotely pointed in the direction of local,online-or-paper news, i'd appreciate your consideration. I'm happy to start at minimum wage. I just want to write news in my spare time.

You will probably get further by writing a story and then sending that story to local papers, rather than sending applications. If you're more interested in distribution than payment, Google is trying to build a tool for the general public to write news stories, get them published and indexed and surfaced to people: https://posts.google.com/bulletin/share https://posts.google.com/bulletin/share

  I appreciate the link, but i am looking for a job, part time at that, not starting a company (i'm already a partner in a small business). How does your business help me become a staff writer?

    It would only be helpful if you would want to start your own publication, not join an existing one! Have you considered starting your own?
    - classicsnoot 8y ago
      Yeah actually. I'm currently working through my undergrad. I was a staff writer at the university until i was fired for... it is a long story. Regardless, i have toyed with the idea of doing an underground newspaper. Do you think your platform would be helpful in that regard?
