aussiefloyd_fan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hey guys I have some ideas that I wanted to run by the staff. I been thinking of recording my own tech info podcast and starting out every article might not be wrote by me but read from the neowin front page news " example: something intresting on neowin.net google does blah blah blah? I would also probaly read from digg and other sites I found Tex Ch news from.. And write some short stuff of my own research and opionion? My main point was would it be ok to read articles from neowin even if I gave credit to the author? I just wanted to make sure before I got in trouble... Or if you wanted to , I would read all the articles from neowin front page news word for word and post my auido clips on here and I could like be neowin news staff or somethin:):;);) just a thought that would be super cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazebee_ Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Maybe you should run this directly through the news staff and admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanManIt Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Maybe you should run this directly through the news staff and admin? I agree, best bet would be to just PM one of the staff your ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted August 22, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 22, 2009 lol... The staff usually advertise for writers (have done quite recently if I remember), but make yourself known as a proficient writer and I'm sure they'll make note.

Rob Veteran Posted August 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 23, 2009 You should make an MP3 and post it for us to hear what you sound like :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted August 23, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2009 You should make an MP3 and post it for us to hear what you sound like :) I think that is an excellent idea! Record a segment about a previous article and upload it to Neowin or submit it to editors@neowin.net so they can preview what you sound like!

PixilEyes Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I do miss the podcast. I use to listen to them at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiefloyd_fan Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 ok, @pixel ; thats exactly why i want to do this.... even if im just reading the news stories that are written on the front page it should stilll be beneficial. I'll get my headset and a few minutes of quiet time and get a recording out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lechio Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 A video would be nice too. :) One thing neowin would benefit would be someone doing presentations of products or just talking about a topic in a videocast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minifig Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 yrah i mis marked the title .. i do not have writing skils for news.. i would just want to read the articles that are on the fpn to be a podcast........ but thanks for feedback and such lols Writing like this kinda worries me if you want to write for a news website. ---- I too want to write for Neowin, and I've supplied a writing example to the staff, however, the idea of writing something ON TOPIC that they want me to write about.. kind of put me on my waylay side. I'm kind of the kind of person who finds something random in life and will write passages about how I find it amusing or thought provoking. A good example of that is the piece I gave the staff to read. If I could do that for this site and get paid, I'd be happy as a clam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giga Veteran Posted August 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 23, 2009 A video podcast of yourself would increase your chances, if anything. Give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 This brings up the larger question which is, with the new infusion of newsposters would the community be looking for a new Neowin podcast? I'd like to get some feedback on that because it's something we've talked about briefly behind-the-scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted August 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 23, 2009 I would love the gamers podcast to come back, but that's not likely to happen at this point sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 How did we go from "I want to write for neowin" to: no im not planning to actually right stuff i just wanted to read the storries.... record them and pop them up to a podcast.. Color me extremely confused. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
