Help Wanted: Writers, Journalists, Illustrators, Videographers, and other content creators...

a reply to: SkepticOverlord

That is cool with the comic strip idea.

I've been asked to illustrate a book and a comic book in the last two years
but turned them down because of time issues and just not feeling they would go anywhere.

I don't know what you are looking for exactly,
but it does sound interesting.
My curiosity is peaked.

I HOPE this means the RADIO SHOWS will be coming back to ATS Skeptic. THAt was actually listened to by a fair amount of people worldwide.

Maybe ATS can get something going with WAYSIDE CREATIONS on a youtube series. They seem to be taking a break at the moment though.(funding is ALWAYS a issue) I seem to had written a story/pilot a while back but shelved it due to the Above network ATS name being copyrighted. Anyway It on ATS somewhere and Skeptic if y a can find it feel free to run with it. Since all writing on ATS is property of ATS lol!!

I'm a comic book artist, among many things. I'll email you some of my work.

Would something like this be along the lines of "original content" ?

www.abovetopsecret.com...

That thread is done entirely from my own resources and investigations.

hmm!
will this mean that This ATS will End?
that we the mob!
will no longer be able to add posts?
I hope you keep the forum on this new site.

or will it just be CONTROLED! news stories?

It looks like a kind of alternative news release of this site, created by members?
and cooperating like an editorial
Does this mean perhaps that the forum threads are used to sift through stories that are going to be used on the alternative news site? Most of the people here are very good researchers and I see very talented people In many ways , I can guess that many news site write reflected stories coming from here, we are almost are working like an independent editorial community..

It's just like the new Star Wars movie directed by a fan and created by fans,
It sounds pretty interesting to be able to contribute to something like this..

This is a great moment, looking at the army of researchers we have here, I don't know how your plan can fail. The whole concept seems to give a good use of the resources ATS has now. ATSers, let's show the world how it's done. We are about to make history.

SkepticOverlord, somehow you should be feeling right now like John Connor. Gotta say it, takes balls to do this man. Hope I can help a bit.

Will there be a need for a content editor - that is a person who will double check all information as well as make sure spelling and grammar are done properly? If so, I may think of applying. I currently work as a writer (doing random articles for one site and health-specific ones for another), but have no experience in writing with regard to alternative media, so I don't think my writing talents would be particularly useful.

I was about to ask that. Fact checkers and researchers? I enjoy writing, but I love research to help writers and fact checking.

edit: I have just seen the reply to that.

My New Media production company LLC and crew would be willing to video human interest/news pieces for ATS writers/journalist.

We have a full staff of writers, storyboard artists, producers, directors, drivers, riggers and stunt cordinators, camera crew, sound recordist, grips, gaffers, PAs., SAG/Aftra actors and craft services.
Full service/will travel...Green Screen, .Sound stage, studio and editing bays also available W/final cut or avid, post production, sfx and color correction.

It's nice that this effort will be monetized!!

Some of our previous work, narrative shorts, documentaries, music videos can be seen on various threads at ATS.

SO, journalists do not sign NDA´s for obvious reasons. Am i right in assuming that this is a push to boost the commercial value of ATS? Commercial sponsored "editorial" content creation is all the rage this days much to journalists frustration as integrity is devalued.

If an irreverent Pundit is required (offering service).

a reply to: SkepticOverlord

Who is "backing" this?

Edit to add that this is an important step at this time and for the near future of ATS and the direction media is headed.

I like it!

I think the NDA has more to do with the open source format. That is a product and while in production, that would be more than appropriate. There are a lot of opinions available on google of journalists and their thoughts on NDAs. It varies and depends on the situation.

I Will LOVE to see, read your segments!

The NDA would be specific to their collaboration on a new software platform. It's important that we get input from the people who create the content, and everyone else on the team would need some level of comfort that no one would take their ideas elsewhere.

well, i can do irony and sarcasm should it be required

but seriously, there's such a wealth of talent here, in so many fields, the assembled appointees will make a dream team.

happy hunting.

Hey. i got a proposal for you.. Ill write for you you draw the comics. sound ok to you? we can communicate via PM to iron out stories weekly.

I would love to give ATS a view on geopolitics.

One of the very few things i happen to know quite well.

What do you say Skeptic? No bias, no bullpoop. Just the facts

a reply to: SkepticOverlord

I'd lend a hand, but I'm not quite sure I meet the requirements - I am an okay-ish writer, programmer, and...well, able to use some of my previous skills to dig up dirt on the internet. If we go by previous works, then I have had to write scientific papers + research + analysis for a few years.

I'd almost like a smaller role, such as if there is a need for help in a certain area or collaboration needed for a project, then.

My main concern is with time invested on the project; I work a typical 9-5'er, so I'm not always around ATS (as much as I want to).
