Just a little bump to this, FNS is a great area to work in especially around about this time as STO will be releasing a bunch of exciting information about Expansion #2.

I would greatly encourage anyone who knows the basics of journalism and enjoys writing to apply for this position (really, all that's required is the second one). It's great practice, fun to do, and offers a variety of subjects to write about (real-life science, Star Trek announcements, Episode Reviews, Interviews, and so much more). It's not too time-consuming either. The current minimum for a full-time writer is 2 articles a month, or, an average of ~0.06 articles a day, so you don't have to fret about being bogged down with work unless you want to be. I'm looking forward to seeing a fresh face or five among our writing staff in the FNS.
