Need: Writers and readers needed for online women's news service - www.womensviewsonnews.org
Dear All
I'm a UK-based journalist and also the founder of an online women's news service called www.womensviewsonnews.org. The idea is to present news from a women-only perspective in order to balance the current bias against women in the news.
I'm currently looking for writers (female and male) who can help me with the site, either by writing up news stories about women; or by looking through stories that have been picked up and published by other news outlets that are about women and alerting me to them so that I can post them onto my site.
You can contact me on alisonmclarke@btopenworld.com or alimclarke@googlemail.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
Alison

Thanks so much for your reply. Am not sure where you are based nor what time you have available to write for the blog. Perhaps you could search the papers in your area for interesting stories about women or that are written from a women's perspective? Just let me know what's feasible for you and thanks again for your interest.

Writers wanted for womensviewsonnews
Dear Nusrat
Thanks so much for your interest in womensviewsonnews. I'm currently trying to act as a filter for all the news stories in the world that are written about women. So I really need people who are prepared to spend time looking through as many news sources as possible, picking out the most interesting, writing an introduction (or using theirs) and then providing a link to the original story. Ultimately I hope to have enough writers to generate these stories for the site but at the moment that's not possible.
Do you have a journalistic background and is so, do you think you could help me with this? If not, do you know other women who might? Many thanks again.

Dear Alison,
I have done my Masters in Mass Communication and Journalism from Kashmir University. I work as a freelancer and also have a regular job. I am really not sure how I can help you. Can you suggest something but as it is I don't have too much of time.

Dear Nusrat
Thanks for your message. As you don't have much time, maybe you could just concentrate on telling everyone you know about my site, particularly people who are either retired or unemployed and would therefore have the time to help.
Best

Dear Sunita
Thanks so much. I'd be really grateful if you'd tell as many people as possible about the site so that they can send me stories to post up on it and also grateful to receive your news from Bangladesh.
Alison
Any type of news???
Dear Alison,
What types of story do you like to publish in your website? Do you have any specific story? I will try to send after next week because that's our vacation and we can go out and study and write about it.

Dear Sunita, thanks for your mail. All my stories are news stories, so if you can provide any of them or have the time to look through news sources and pick out interesting stories about women, providing a link to them that would be really helpful. Thanks again for your interest.

Journalists to contact
Dear Janice
Have just started to try to contact the list of people whose names you kindly provided. However, I just can't figure out how to contact them. I obviously clicked into the link you provided but there didn't seem to be any contact details anywhere, or am I being dense? Many thanks.
Alison
Contacting journalists
Alison, I apologize that it is not very clear. There are two ways to contact the members:
1. Click on the "Add to my community" button beneath their profile image. This will bring you to a page where you can write a personal message and whereby the member will be added to your friend's list.
2. You can click on the "Journal" tab on their profile page and find a journal entry they have written. Click on any journal entry which will take you to that page. You can then "Post a new comment" which will create a response to their journal entry. Once you do this, they will be notified by email that you have responded, accompanied with a copy of your response.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. I would also very much appreciate it if you would keep me posted on any progress you have with the members. Best wishes,
Janice
Contacting people
Thanks, Janice, but I still seem to have a problem. It doesn't always seem appropriate to reply to a journal entry (assuming there is one) and I really cannot see a button that says "Add to my community" anywhere. Sorry to be so dense.
Alison
Add to my community
Not dense at all. It may be that you are not logged in. In order to add someone to your community, you must be logged in so just go to the very top of the page where in the center (next to our logo), you will see a link to "log in". Let me know if this does not work.
Janice
Getting in touch with others
Thanks for persevering. That worked and have contacted them all. Will let you know if I hear back from anyone. Thanks again for your patience. Alison
Suggested journalists
