Now hiring driven and motivated writers


Recommended Posts

Update: Thanks to all who applied for the position, we had a very successful turnout this season, and have filled our available positions. Thank you all for your contribution, interest and support.

This Spring, Neowin has several news poster positions available. If you have a passion for writing informative and inspiring news articles, Neowin might be the right place for you.

What are our expectations?

  • Be active: We require no less than 4 articles a week, but the more the better. We pay our writers per original article depending on the comments/hits. This won't replace your full time job, but is an easy way to earn extra cash for an MP3 player or copy of Windows 7.
  • We expect all articles to be originally written, we have strict guidelines for approvals. You must be proficient in English and grammar. We understand no one is perfect, but we do have high standards in order for a post to be approved on the main page.
  • You need to be able to bite your tongue when negative criticism occurs. It happens from time to time, but remember you represent Neowin on and off this site.
  • Although not mandatory, living near a convention/tech hotspot such as LA, Seattle, New York, or Tokyo would be a plus.

We do not assign people to different areas unlike other established news sources. Our writers will write from a variety of different categories.

Here's a general idea of what we cover here at Neowin:

  • Microsoft
  • Apple
  • Linux
  • Gaming
  • Software
  • Hardware
  • Gadgets
  • Mobile Devices
  • Editorials & Reviews
  • And anything else that's related to technology

Think you have what it takes?

You can apply by visiting www.neowin.net/contact/apply and following the instructions.

Please note that due to the volume of applications we receive, we may not be able to reply to you instantly. Please give us at least a week to reply to you.

Thanks and Good luck!

Good luck to all who apply! It's definitely worth having a go at, the experience and knowledge you obtain from it is great, and the staff are some of the nicest people you can work with.

Look forward to reading articles from new faces :)

couldn't have said it better (Y) I enjoyed my time as a news writer!

Hm. Why don't you apply to join the writing team and post more Linux news? :)

Heck, you don't even have to join the team to write up something and submit it. I wrote up an original article a couple of months ago, and it got approved.

I will never join the staff.

  1. I'm not a news writer.
  2. If I or any other that has over 1000 FLOSS daily news entries in their feeds would join the newstaff the non-existant agenda of posting every fart that leaves Redmond would be compromised.

This is indeed a good opportunity. I know there are doubters about the whole Linux thing, but the fact is that it's all about market forces here and what can pull in the readers. I used to write Linux articles (and legal-issue articles) for Neowin, and I routinely got the page-reads needed to earn money. If that's your thing (as it was mine), then I'd say, have a go!

It was a minimum of three articles a week back when I wrote for the site. If Neowin is keen to recruit Linux writers, then maybe it would be good to lower the minimum requirements for those keen on that issue, as the number of things one can write about Linux that will have the audience reach here is, well, not as high as the number of things one can write about Windows, of course!

Just a suggestion. And I'd seriously like to emphasize again that it's cool to be a news writer for Neowin. I am proud of my own work here! :)

I'm proud of my work as a Newsie here on Neowin as well.

Personally I'd love to reapply to do gaming news yet again, but alas I don't think I'd be invited back on staff still :(

Needless to say it's a fun time doing news coverage, and all the little things that go with it (podcasts etc). I highly recommend if you haven't applied for a position yet, do so!

We're still going through all the entries; don't worry, you will receive a response either way but the exact timeframe is yet to be decided :) Thanks for your patience.

Ah, fair enough. Thank you for the response. :)

Still interested, still haven't heard anything. Are the applications being done in order of being received or are they just being grabbed randomly?

We are in the process of getting feedback from all the editors and prioritizing applications. There is a lot of applications to sort through, sorry for the delay, but we are working at a steady pace to ensure we don't rush this process.

Alright, thank you for the update.

Can we still apply?

    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/  
    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
