Before a potential journalist's articles appear on the front page of the New York Times or their byline tops the cover story of Sports Illustrated, he or she must get their foot in the door of this ultra-competitive industry. Success in journalism requires a keen eye for news, a way with words - particularly the written word - and a natural curiosity, creativity and humor. But even potential journalists that possess ample amounts of each of these crucial skills need a place to prove their worth. That's where Atomic Sports Media can help! Atomic Sports Media is one of the hottest new sports sites on the Web and we're always looking for the best and brightest young writers to join our team of sports writers, giving them an opportunity to cover their favorite sports, write about their favorite players and, most importantly, get their work seen by thousands of fans and potential employers worldwide. In sports, it can be tough for a rookie to get a lot of playing time to prove he belongs. The same is true for writers. But Atomic Sports Media wants to get you off the bench and into the game. With us, you'll report and write stories about your favorite teams, players and events, at your leisure, and best of all, you'll get published! In less than a year, Atomic Sports Media has published hundreds of articles from talented writers from all over the country. Over twenty well-known and well respected institutions of higher learning, have partnered with ASM to offer this unique opportunity to their journalism students. Currently ASM has a staff of twenty contributing writers, but we're always looking for more. So if you're a talented and hungry journalist interested in writing about sports, we want to hear from you. Here are just some of the benefits afforded our contributing writers: 1)    Resume  quality  references. 2)    A chance to win extra money and/or prizes through our monthly Writer's Contest.  3)   Create a name for yourself on the Internet as an established sports journalist. Use this experience to aid you in the future. Experience is invaluable. 4)   You will receive full credit for your story and you will have the ability to receive feedback from readers. 5)   You will get a free, personalized @atomicsportsmedia.com e-mail address. 6)   You will have the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with other sports columnists as you wish. 7)   As a columnist, you get freedom. We don't force you to write about one specific topic; write about any appropriate topic you want.   In an industry where very few people find jobs by simply sending out a resume, journalists have to take advantage of every opportunity possible to get their work seen. Here at Atomic Sports Media, we're excited to give that opportunity to some of the best and brightest writers around and we're looking forward to helping even more future sports writers their first shot at greatness!
