Anyone feel like doing some blogging for a news site?

The New England Ethnic Newswire is currently recruiting high school students and senior citizens to become involved in community blogging efforts.  (Anyone interested - regardlesss of age - is welcome)
About Us: We are a non-profit news service based within UMass Boston's Center on Media and Society. The aim of the newswire is to facilitate communication between different segments of the area's ethnic media, to provide them with educational and professional resources, and to further connect the audiences of each of these news outlets (as well as those of mainstream media) with content and perspectives that they might not otherwise be exposed to. Our media partners include SAMPAN, The Bay State Banner, Dorchester Reporter, India New England, The Brazilian Journal, El Planeta, The Jewish Advocate, and many more.

Student Blogs: We are in the midst of giving our website a complete overhaul.  As part of that upgrade, we're looking for bloggers with a particular talent for or interest in writing/journalism and/or opinions on the issues concerning the communities within which they live to contribute to our blogs.  Student bloggers will have the opportunity to forge a relationship with the UMass Boston McCormack Graduate School's Center on Media and Society, participate in workshops, have their writing posted on a legitimate news outlet's site, and take part in mentoring provided by some of the area's seasoned journalists.

We are looking for students who have something to say about ethnic identity, culture, and their neighborhoods. The community blog section of our site has some examples, however, the subject matter is intentionally open-ended to be molded to the individual's interpretation of their own ethnicity, culture, neighborhood.  Entries may cover anything from what a student feels it means to be Asian/African/Armenian-American, his or her take on a cultural event, to an editorial piece tackling an issue facing his or her community.
