Blogcritics Looking for TV Show Reviews
24 and a ton of great shows are going uncovered on BC: sign up to cover a
show, or even a channel/network, or a TV-related theme of your own device, and
live large! In addition to network shows in prime time, no one is covering late night, news
programs, soaps, syndicated shows, or very much on cable. TV is Blogcritics' most popular
section on a per-article basis. Apply at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blogcritics/join . View
the site at http://blogcritics.org/ . Non-paying market, but opportunities to get articles
syndicated and viewed by many. This makes an acceptable clip for a resume.

Truth in Writing
The truth does not ride on a clever response, but on something immediate, irrational, torn
directly from the soul.
