Politico wants you
Because the part of the Greensboro blogging community I engage with most is politically minded, I pass this along from Politico as a way to make money doing something you enjoy: This is your chance to tell Politico readers about important political stories in your backyard -- and earn $100. All registered Politico members are invited to submit news (not opinion) articles about political disputes, trends and ideas that you believe should be on the national radar.
The emphasis is mine.
Thanks to Jay Rosen on Twitter. I asked Jay what he thought "should be on the national radar" meant. He responded: You know how editors ask reporters to "localize" national trend stories? They mean the reverse, I think.
A chance for fame and fortune, folks.
