Ireland Needs YOU - Journo Team Season 10

FewFew

Hi guys and gals,

It's that time of the season when a journo gets elected and looks for journo volunteers.

How it works
The world of Irish BR is far too big for one person to cover to the extent it deserves, but a lot of hands make light work. Responsibilities are divided up, based on your interests (if you commit) and if there are any shortfalls I try my best to make them up. We have an Irish magazine site http://www.brirelandzine.com where journos can sign up and create their own profile. Journos then post up their articles, I take a quick look and edit anything they might have missed and we publish. Then I throw up a short summary on the BR site informing people of the article.

Positions we need filled
National Team Correspondent
U20s Correspondent
Premiership (Div I) Correspondent
Div II Correspondent (x2)
Div III Correspondent ( x4)
Div IV Correspondent (as many as we can handle)
Yoda (to handle writing tutorials for all the newbies)

So if you're interested please post below. I'll say at this point that you should be genuinely interested in writing. We try our best to make sure nobody has too much on their plate, so when people say they'll do something and then disappear, well, that's just not cricket.

Any takers, we need to get going on this quite soon.

Sorry boss, Leaving Cert, Rugby, Gaelic. I barely have enough time to play the game let alone do some journalism. Hope you get some responses

Hi mate. I'm newish to Blackout, but i'd be interested in giving you a hand in Div III. I was once upon a time, editor of my school magazine (irrelevant) :P

I do write witty newsletters for my Fantasy Football League which do get occasional praise, so i'd love to give this a go!

Regards, Shane

Witty newsletters sounds perfectly appropriate for this lark, welcome on board. Send me an aul in-game mail if you would so I have your manager/team ID etc, and I'll send you some details of exactly how we roll.

Excellent, I was hoping you'd say that!

Really need a division 2 guy with Keogh's departure.

Currently have a Div 1 guy and 2 for Div III.

The team so far -

Keogh (Cill Dara, NT) will give regular reports on the NT (we still need an objective voice to review matches etc.)
Satory (Beltra RFC) will start work on Div II.
Ajeffares (Geraldine RFC) will continue and improve on his excellent U20s coverage.
Skellyoaks (Tuam Stars) will start work on Div 3.
Caladras (Ulster Rangers) will be commenting on Div 1.

More writers welcome!

Oh ye of little faith! Am still in Div III but thought it might be a conflict of interest.... will do Div III if you prefer but obvisouly can't do a write up on my own magnificent 15 lol.

Let me know which Leagues you want me to do and I'll copy the format you've already done. Are you happy to get them league by league?

Yeah, I was pretty sure I remember seeing you on a promotion playoff, nevermind a relegation one, ya scamp!
Ah yeah, we split up the leagues so we don't have to report on each other.

I'll mail ya with details soooon.

DiV III.14 first please as it got nothing last year! (and there's no need to comment how I have been caught cold in the first two games!! my excuse is I had to set them 2 weeks in advance as was away and shipped a few injuries and things and so on... setting 8 matches in advance is tough guessing energy levels!):pac:
