Hi all,
If you're interested in writing articles for an international roadcycling news-site, please read more here: http://www.cyclingpost.com/team/article_003630.shtml.
We're particularly interested in people willing and able to write three to seven (or more!) articles a week. In the future, we might ask you to conduct interviews or attend races, depending on your location.

I want one of these !! http://www.ciclicasati.it/italiano/foto_laser.htm
I note you don't pay writers a bean. That's an interesting business model.

Yes Eurostar, we're looking for volunteers who really like to form part of a site like this.
If it's beans people want though, I'm sure we will be able to provide a jar
Who has written the existing content on your site? How have they been rewarded?
I'm not trying to be difficult, but I am a freelance journalist and a member of the NUJ and a firm believer that writers should be paid.

If you don't have the revenue to pay fees, how about some shares for writers? Does the site plan to make a profit one day?

Hi Eurostar,
No, I understand your questions very well. Basically we're not looking for professional journalists like yourself since that's just a step too far.
We do need people who just like to write these articles next to their regular job or study, although journalism students might be a good option too.
The 3 to 7 articles a week is a guideline..people who like to write one article a week are also very welcome [:)]
If you want to get good content from people with real insight, ideas & contacts in the sport you'll have to find a way of generating enough revenue to pay them for the work they do. Otherwise ultimately your site will fail against ones with a better organized structure, same as with a pro bike team: Money talks and talent walks, especially with good freelancers.

Do you think/believe Jan used drugs?
