We're looking for bloggers who can riff on various topics, share their personality and engage our readers in discussions.
Patch is more than a news site, it's an online conversation about your community.
- Are you passionate about Smyrna-Vinings core issues?
- Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
- Do you have strong opinions about local government?
- Can you just make us all laugh?
- Can you write compellingly?
Then, we want to hear from you.
This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.
Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Much like The Huffington Post has done, Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience.
Check out this recent post from Smyrna-Vinings Patch blogger Sarah Douglas. Her list of what it means to be Southern started a great conversation. There's also this one from Erik Fernald about the Transportation Investment Act and why he thinks you should vote no.
Smyrna-Vinings Patch blog posts are as varied and interesting as the people who write them. We're looking for writers with a unique point of view. Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.
My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to Smyrna-Vinings Patch to ensure there are no libelous claims. I might correct obvious typos, too.
It's easy to start a blog on Patch. Simply click "Start a blog" under the "What's up with you?" tab on the homepage. Then you're all set to write your first post. If you have any questions feel free to email the editor at sydney.busby@patch.com
Happy blogging!
