Fight STL (details here) is under development, but we are staffing for what I anticipate will be a 4th quarter launch.
If you live in the St. Louis area and are interested in a paid, part-time journalism position, please contact me at ron@FightSTL.com. At this point I am assessing interest, so there's no need to provide personal information.
Current positions and description listed below. Please keep this thread bumped. Thanks in advance!
Staff Writer - The most qualified candidate will be proficient in the following:
building contacts to maintain a steady flow of news, (eg promoters, the local legislatures, fighters)

reporting on up-coming events of interest to the community
attending press conferences
possibly attending local and council meetings and magistrates' court proceedings as they pertain to MMA's legalization

This will be a very good project.
Thanks, Elias. I hope so.
I grew up in STL so I support this. MMA has been slow to develop there (from what I've seen) until pretty recently.
