I have been playing with different ideas and have decided on a project for one of my domains. Many of you and I are sick of the way the mainstream media reports news or their lack reporting. So I have decided to create my own news outlet. The website is "tunewall.com". I have it running the latest WordPress with a free news/magazine theme that I hope to upgrade as we grow. Currently the site has great SEO and is well nested in popular search engines. My next goal is an important one, working with Google on getting into their "Google News" headlines/feed. Goggle News will give us our ability to have "Press Releases" that reach millions. As of right now I am willing to add any writers/bloggers who are willing to do all or one of the following:

Comments/Linking to recent press releases from other internet sources


Opinion blog-like writings about current Political affairs


Mirrored blog posts from your personal blog/website you have permission to post


Articles/Breaking News to issue for "Immediate Press Release" via tunewall.com

If you are interested I will teach you exactly how to post the above different types of news, as well as help you learn the WordPress interface and use the Plugins I have installed. This site will not be all about "Ron Paul" but can lean in his direction. I do want to eventually have a variety of writers from all angles, so If you know anyone interested in writing articles from any Political standpoints please let me know also. I know a couple people have messaged me from a previous post I had made a while back, just sit tight and I will be contacting you, as well as responding to anyone who posts in this thread come the end of the week.

Thanks,
Matt Knock
Lead Editor/Site Admin of tunewall.com (http://tunewall.com)

**UPDATE** - Google News has accepted tunewall.com for inclusion! **UPDATE**

As of right now I can't offer any kind of pay. In the future this may be possible if advertisements/other income grew to pay for more than the hosting/domain/traffic. The "founding" writers who help us get there will be first to be compensated at that point.

This is something I would most definitely be interested in.

I'm interested. I've done a lot of writing in the field of political science, and I plan to have my major completed in that area in the next few years. In the meantime, however, I'd be glad to offer my writing skills to your blog site. Just contact me and let me know the specifics. You can reach me at levi.grandt@richmond.edu so you can tell me about what my duties would be and what would be expected. Thanks!

I can do writing and/or editing, basically anything you need. I'm kind of a grammar junkie.

I cand do writing and (No need for "and/or") editing; (semicolon) basically anything you need. I'm kind of a grammar junkie.

:D I'm just being a swinging Richard.

Actually, both sides of a semicolon should express a complete thought. Also, the use of and/or is optional, and there is nothing wrong with including it, gramatically.

As do I.

My family calls me the grammar/spelling nazi. I cannot stand to listen to, or read, incorrectly.



Please pm if you need my help. :)
