If you decide you want to try out, you'll need one sample article that can be your first article if you're accepted, and titles / ideas for three more. When you get to where it says Referred By in the application, make sure you put Samantha Holloway, Jacksonville TV Examiner, or the code x-11396 so I get credit for referring you!

And feel free to send this on to whoever you think can fill these roles well and indefinitely!

Thanks!

PS: Some tips to help you get it:
- good grammar and spelling are very imporatant because there's no editor that will do it for you, and you have to show you can do it for yourself.
- it's supposed to be like a newspaper, so stay clear, explain ideas, avoid the 'I' pronoun, be general, and stick to the facts (if you go for a commentary or editorial one, start there, then extrapolate the way you would in a paper).
- sound as authoritative as you can without over doing it.
- you'll have to write at least three articles a week, but it doesn't matter when in each week-- pick a topic you can talk about for a long time before you run out of subject and have to go looking for new ideas (which makes it much slower and more tedious).
