Your favorite, ever-expanding TV blog (no not that one, TV Squad!) is looking to add to its team of writers. Are you a TV junkie and interested in news of all-things TV? Do you have an RSS feed list for TV news in the double digits? Would you like to be paid to write about TV? Well, this may be your chance!Read on for a few details about this new opening...
First and foremost, this open position would be for someone to be able to post throughout the day and not be hindered by a full-time job or school. Your primary focus will be to post TV news items as they happen throughout the day and not so much episode reviews. You should be capable of and expect to post at least five times a day through the hours of 9AM and 8PM, with some fun weekend posts sprinkled in there.
If this sounds like you, go ahead and submit three original writing samples about something in the news about TV, a TV show or a TV celebrity (by original I mean you should take time right now to write up three new posts as you'd expect to see them posted on TV Squad). Show us you know what TV Squad's about and what audience we post for.
Submit those samples to apps at tvsquad.com. PLEASE, NO ATTACHMENTS -- Paste your text into a normal email message.
And now, a little something to inspire you ...

Isn't that already just called TVNewser? ;-)

Sounds like fun if the WGA strike didn't mean we'd be reviewing nothing but reality crap.

I would give it a shot, but I vowed not to write anything until the WGA strike is over out of solidarity to the striking writers.
Besides, I'm iliturate... illeterate... illlitiwrit... can't write good.

I love KevJohn's comment; I'd also love to apply but don't know how to "paste into an e-mail format". I simply write with (hopefully) comedy and sarcasm. I love TV Squad, but am not quite sure what you're looking for. If you simply want to entertain, I'm your woman; facts, or fax, not so much. Please feel free to contact me.

Hilarious clip. Oh, and I sent my app in. Maybe it'll work out and I, too, will be able to work for the fourth best television-centric blog.

Do us all a favor: Just give Jay Black a raise and get him to write more.
