Call For Writers - News Org Beta Tests New Network
AXcess News is opening its network to writers in a beta test of its new system. The top writers will get a chance to join a news co-op and share in its royalties.
Reno, NV (PRWEB) August 29, 2005 -- Few writers get the chance to make it in the news trade, that's why AXcess News has opened its network to writers across all topics.
In testing its new system, AXcess News has decided to accept stories for display across one of the largest online news networks in the USA.
"We decided to give writers a chance while we beta test our new web platform," said Eric Stevenson, Editor-in-chief AXcess News.
AXcess News is accepting stories in technology, business, environmental, health, world, national, entertainment and sports topics.
Those writers whose stories show the most reader interest will be invited to join a pure web news co-op being launched later this year. The co-op was formed through a partnership of three online news networks in the USA, CA and UK that displays stories instantly in 230 major metro markets.
Co-op members will receive a 20% royalty on all stories they submit.
Stevenson went on to say, "Web publishers are given the 'cold shoulder' by news organizations that refuse to accept them. Even smaller newspapers are fed up with them and the ever-increasing costs of that news.
"They'll 'sell you news', but you're not good enough to submit your stories - unless your a newspaper and even then the larger syndicates dominate it.
"That's why three online publishers got together and agreed to form a news cooperative for small newspapers and web publishers where they share their content - and its revenue.
Here's your chance to become part of the first web-based global news organization that's opening its membership ranks to columnists and journalists worldwide who believe news should not be controlled by a handful of newspaper syndicates.
To submit your stories for the beta test, go to http://www.axcessnews.com/ and use the Contact Us form. Stories should be written in English. No foreign language submissions will be accepted. Columnists and newsletter publishers are encouraged to participate. Articles should be limited to no more than 500 words.
About AXcess News:
AXcess News has been publishing news online since 2002 and operates a network of 92 news sites across the USA that serves those metro markets. It is the largest independently owned online news network in the country.
Media inquiries should be directed to Eric Stevenson. Telephone interviews about the launch of this online global news network will be accepted by appointment only. Reporters should include the nature of their inquiry and their telephone number to schedule and interview.
