Quick Pitch Deployed – Join a Music Beat Blog

From Eliot at Wired: This is not the full pitch, but a quick letter of intent just to see who else might be interested in joining his project. It’s a quick letter explaining the space and asking for contact information. From there, Eliot can compile and send a fuller invite when he is ready.

Join A Digital Music ‘Beat Blog’?

Social networking isn’t just for keeping up with friends and playing scrabble — it can also be harnessed for the purposes of news reportage.  Or so I’m hoping.

In conjunction with NewAssignment.net’s Beat Blogging project, I’m looking for people who want to help report on news stories by providing  perspectives on breaking news, story ideas, and new angles on existing news.  I’ll mainly be inviting people from within the music and tech industries, but I thought I should give Listening Post readers a chance to participate too, judging from the quality of some of the comments here.

There aren’t too many spots available, but I’m hoping to recruit a few good participants.  If this sounds interesting, send me an email by clicking on the little envelope symbol at the top of this post with your contact information and affiliation, if any.
