As the title states, BFTB is looking to hire an aspiring journalist. We want to add someone to the team that can be a "beat writer" of sorts. Someone that is ready at the drop of a hat to write a developing news story, can make connections and build relationships, and is looking to make a name for themselves in the sports journalism sector.
My dream, with running this blog, was that this person would be me. That I'd be at every practice, in the press box for every game, getting quotes from the locker room and releasing "daily update"-type posts on what I had seen similar to what you see local newspapers and TV stations doing. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time for such a role, so now I'm looking to add someone to the team that does and would be willing to help BFTB grow further.
Details are after the jump.
