Position/Section applying for: WTF News? / Hack of the week.
Rate your English skills (as a whole) on a 1-10 scale: The maximum I can say is 9.
Do you have any experience of being on a news / publications team, advanced or specific writing or related? If so, explain: (IE, AP Language or wrote on a high school news team) : I'm one of the best essay writers in my school according to my teachers and had my writings published in school magazines atleast 6 times yearly. English is also my main language, which I speak everyday meaning excellent experience at writing/understanding text phrases. I'm currently studying to do my A Level in English. This is one of the hardest exams due to that there has to be a grammar analysis of almost every word.
Are you able to meet a weekly deadline where expectations are your responsibilities are completed prior to news publication?: Yea I check MPGH daily and spend 2-3 hours staring at my computer screen doing nothing so this would be a great time-killer. That also means I'd put a lot of effort in my news. On the other hand, I like hacking in games and seeing which game is being hacked the most / which hack is being downloaded the most gives me butterflies.
Why do you believe you should be apart of the News Force?: I socialize a lot daily, and I am one of the biggest stalkers. News runs fast from man to man, and the stuff that is said is always hilarious to hear. I also read the news everyday which could be a perk.

Hopefully, if I'm chosen I can get a template on what is required to be mentioned in the WTF News ? / Hack of the week, and how my job is to be done.

Thank you for your time.

Position/Section applying for: Music/Global

Rate your English skills (as a whole) on a 1-10 scale: 8

Do you have any experience of being on a news/publications team, advanced or specific writing or related? If so, explain: (IE, AP Language or wrote on a high school news team) I don't have experience in being on a news/publications team, The only experience I have is finishing everything on time before the deadlines. I'm at the University (Europe), so you can imagine how many papers I have to write before the deadlines/exams.

Are you able to meet a weekly deadline where expectations are your responsibilities are completed prior to news publication?: Yes, I am. I am almost every day on MPGH scrolling lurking in some sections. And one extra responsibility is not a problem for me it will be more a challenge for me.

Why do you believe you should be apart of the News Force?: I read daily the news online on my tablet or computer. I am really interested in global news to keep myself up to date what is happening around the world to feed myself with 'knowledge,' because at the University we talk about it a lot, about our opinions what we think. And I also read a lot of economic news because it's a must for the field of my studies (international business).

Apart from that I listen daily to new songs, I don't really have 'one taste' I listen to all kind of music. The music industry plays also an important rol in the world, it affects easly millions of people. So with other words I would be sharing intresting topics about the music industry with the MPGH community and share new released albums/songs.


I wish everyone goodluck.

The weekly MPGH News is something I look forward to every week. I've shown my eagerness to help the News Force, by providing holiday edition MPGH News logos (Easter & Valentines).

Position/Section applying for:
Global News and/or innovating/research (will explain in a bit)

Rate your English skills (as a whole) on a 1-10 scale:
I'd say 8. I can't really tell compared to others here because everybody just writes how they want on this forum. No need to show off your English.

Do you have any experience of being on a news / publications team, advanced or specific writing or related? If so, explain:
I've written some blogs. Had some experience at a university magazine. It's nothing special in all honesty. Don't think it really adds up to much but it does show I have a passion for writing.

Are you able to meet a weekly deadline where expectations are your responsibilities are completed prior to news publication?:
Yes, I'm assuming I do. I honestly can't find anywhere how much time it actually costs so that might be a concern but I assume about 3-5 hours a week max? Because I can cope with that for sure.

Why do you believe you should be a part of the News Force?:
Well I do make assumptions here but I feel the news has been quite similar for some time. It doesn't progress much. That's what I'd like to focus on next to writing for the global news. I think there's much more we could make out of it. So I'd like to do some research, test some things. See what works and what doesn't. Here are some ideas I have:

- Section of the Month:
Here I'd like to try out new stuff every month. See what people like and what they don't. We could do this by letting the community submit ideas every month. (Which also will really help with recruitment, those who got good ideas might be good to join the news force?) Whenever one of those ideas gets great positive feedback, we could do it on a more regular basis.

- A/B tests
We have direct interaction with the community, why not check out based on design, order, content, word use. Could be anything.

- gossip/quote of the week
I think I speak for everyone that the interviews/sign or photo of the month of the news force is great. The reason why is because it involves the community. Everyone would love to come into the news. Let's tryout different kind of things. See what people drives to be more involved.

I guess I could go on like this but my point is clear. I'd like to innovate and research .

Wish all the applicants good luck!
