NUFC BLOG POST

[wykikitoon 20788]

Not joking around here, but you could do a lot worse than sticking around here and building a presence.

 

There's several posters who give more insightful opinions than the majority of local journalists without necessarily having any of the access to the club they do. I can scroll through a match thread with avatars off and have a good guess at who's written most of the more detailed posts without seeing their names.

 

At the moment, as others say, you seem to be picking up a lot of what the paid NUFC writers are writing and regurgitating it in a similar style. I think a year on here or somewhere similar might help you find a voice of your own. A dozen or so posts a day and you will have written tens of thousands of words on NUFC. Not to mention read ten times as much again, which will be even more useful.

 

Just let Stevie do a bit of ghost writing. Sorted.

 

I'm gerrin the word......"Mugs"!

Also, your path to sports journalism will not be instant. You'll have to get into a local newspaper and write award winning articles about 'Cat Stuck In Drain' and 'Rotary Club Donate Sundial' before hitting the big time. Seriously.
