MPGH News Team Applications

Good luck to all applicants. I'll review your application thoroughly, and I'll be able to see any flaws, or lies within it. I recommend you take your time, and speak the truth - you'll have a better chance at getting in.

Thanks @Dave84311 for sticking the thread!

Thanks @Ravallo for editing the thread post for me!

-Applicants
There was 2 editor positions open, and I forgot to show the positions available within the OP. There are NO MORE editor positions. Scata, and Ravallo have taken the duty of Editor. Feel free to edit your post and apply for one of the positions available. If you want a description of each (even though they are self explanatory) you can PM/VM me.

We also MAY need help with a possible newsletter that will go out every month! (Coded in preferably HTML/etc)

9-9.5/10.

Do you have experience of being on a news team, or writing a news section?:
Yup.

Pick a position from the list below and explain in detail why you would want to do that:
Top choice: Interviewer position. Why that choice? I am very good at communicating with other people and taking other ideas and working with them. I know how to start an interview, or even a conversation unlike some people. I also know how to lay down the law when need be.

2nd choice: Contest news. Why that choice? I am very active in the Graphics Section where SOTW takes place and I post there enough to know what's going on.

Can you meet the deadline of Thursday night every week to have your assignment completed?:
Since it's summer break now, yes.

Give us a brief summary of why YOU think you should be apart of the MPGH News Team:
I'm starting to become more active and I think I could really contribute to the team. I also have better English, spelling, and grammar skills than most people out here. (No offense/non-cocky)

Your name:
Mats

Time Zone:
Central US

Rate your grammar, spelling, and English skills (1-10):
10/10, you've seen my English and grammar.

Do you have experience of being on a news team, or writing a news section?:
Yes, I write news daily for the servers I frequent in games, I did a journalism class as an elective. I also interviewed people in the shortlived MPGH Runescape News, which flopped over due to lack of interest, however I don't think MPGH News will have that problem.

Pick a position from the list below and explain in detail why you would want to do that:
Interviewer position, I feel like I would enjoy a Q/A more than I would writing up news, so it seems like a natural choice. I also would like the position as a news team member, as it also interests me. With the experience I have, I feel like I'd be an asset to the team.

Can you meet the deadline of Thursday night every week to have your assignment completed?:
Yes, I can meet the deadline every week.

Give us a brief summary of why YOU think you should be apart of the MPGH News Team:
I'm a long time user of MPGH, and I think we could use more active and well-known users on the News Team. I also really want to manage the interviews, it sounds like a fun side job.

Time Zone: EST(US)

Do you have experience of being on a news team, or writing a news section?: I was in publications for my first two years of High School, and I am joining the school's paper next year.

Pick a position from the list below and explain in detail why you would want to do that: I can do any available position.
Can you meet the deadline of Thursday night every week to have your assignment completed?: You can count on it.

Give us a brief summary of why YOU think you should be apart of the MPGH News Team: My teachers have always told me that I am a bright young man and mommy says I'm special . On the other hand, I have always received a 95% or higher in English(Please don't ask about my other grades, ouch), and I like to think of myself as relatively creative.

Age: 14

Your name: Ryan

Time Zone: EST Standard (8:40 right now)

Rate your grammar, spelling, and English skills (1-10): 9/10 (been in advanced english for years and my mom is a court reporter/ typist so spelling/grammar has been a pretty big deal).

Do you have experience of being on a news team, or writing a news section?: Yes. I was on the morning announcements for my school and used to write reviews for air soft guns. Also, I have had to turn in a paper on "current events" every friday for the last 9 months during school.

Pick a position from the list below and explain in detail why you would want to do that: Global News/Interviewer, I have written current events and such and thing I would be great at writing global events. I also think it would be really fun to interview people. In detail: I have actually wanted to be on a news team for a while and a few years ago tried to make my own magazine (didn't work out at all! - if you would like to know more about the magazine as an example, PM me (Staff members reviewing this app)). I have interviewed people before, but not really with a purpose. I think I would be good at it though. Q/A wouldn't be hard for me to write.

Can you meet the deadline of Thursday night every week to have your assignment completed?: Yes, I'm good at getting things done. I will be ready and organized every week.

Give us a brief summary of why YOU think you should be apart of the MPGH News Team: As I said before, I have been in advanced english for years and try to do alot for the community. This is something I can do for it, other than programming. I love to write actually and used to write stories and as I stated above tried to start a magazine. Hopefully I will get the chance to help the community by becoming a news team member!

NOTE: I am not advertising the magazine in ANY way. Simply stating a reference. If any minion or staff member DOES think it is advertising, please take out those links, but don't ban me for simply giving an example to the news team. Thanks.
Good Luck!
