The Atheist News site is now looking for full time bloggers!
This is the home of the Atheist News podcast, but that’s not all it is. It has always been my intention to turn this sucker into a full blown atheist news blogging site and the time has finally come to cut the ribbon. As of now, I have three gentlemen who will be blogging here on current events topics of interest to the more secular minded among us (formal introductions to follow,) but three is not enough. Over the next few months, I’ll be adding more writers to the staff and you could be one of them!
So here’s the skinny: we’re holding something of an essay contest to help us pick who our next staff member will be. In order to enter, you need only write a single news blog post on the subject of your choice (details below) and submit it to us. We will read through all of the submissions and pick a winner on September 30th.
The winner of the contest will have their own news blog on the Atheist News website! They will undoubtedly be turned into overnight celebrities and be buried in fame and groupies nigh instantaneously.
The deadline for submissions is September 26th, so get to writing!
