Be an Opinion Leader
By Jim Cunningham
Staff Writer
Do you want to create a blog or write
articles that will make you popular or influential around the
Internet and in your community? Do you want to publish your
work or write a blog to gain exposure as an expert in your
field? Maybe you’re a political junkie or political hack who
wants to become a syndicated columnist, become a freelance
writer or become a news reporter who writes about US
politics, political issues, or international politics. Then
consider writing for the American Chronicle family of 21
online news, feature and entertainment magazines.
AmChron.com
(as the American Chronicle is also known) and its online
affiliate news magazines have several types of free blog,
create blog and political blog opportunities. These are
unpaid yet rewarding opportunities with high quality
international, national, state and local City Blog sites.
For example, the American Chronicle offers
political blogging and political forum (political chat room)
opportunities on all of its sites, including the California
Chronicle, which is a statewide site that has news and
information about California politics, LA politics and
California government and which can be accessed on the web at
CalChron.com.
Note that political news web logs need not be limited to
liberal blogs about liberal politics or conservative blogs
about conservative politics. Rather, the California Chronicle
and the American Chronicle offer readers more. For example,
the sites provide a town hall forum where visitors can post
articles and report news about anything, including but not
limited to political news and political rumors. Thus, if you
want to hold an online political debate about media and
politics, political scandals, religion and politics or women
in politics -- or if you want to discuss politicians and
political gossip, then the American Chronicle and the
California Chronicle might have the far right (or far left)
discussion forums or chat rooms for you. If not, then create
a chat room or create a forum. It’s easy to do.
And if you’re a political writer or a
political consultant who is looking for online writing jobs,
creative writing jobs, or if you want to publish political
commentary for an online newspaper or online magazine, then
you could publish your work with the American Chronicle, the
California Chronicle and its affiliated sites. For example,
beyond the topics that have been highlighted above, your
articles might be written about current issues in your state
government or city government, including local elections,
state elections, candidate statements, ballot measures,
voting, city elections or ballot initiatives. In addition,
you could write about your city council, county central
committee, city commissions or general municipal election. Or
you could even write about national and international events,
such as the war in Iraq (Baghdad), the US military (US Navy,
US Air Force, US Marines, US Army, US Coast Guard or National
Guard), the United Nations, the United States, the Middle
East or international affairs.
What else can you write about? Well you
could focus on issue oriented topics such as free speech,
campaign finance or environmental protection legislation
proposed by the US Congress, White House, or US House of
Representatives. And you could even write about a US Supreme
Court Justice appointed by President George W. Bush and
confirmed by the US Senate. Or, you could write about any
number of US Supreme Court decisions that are made each year.
Many Supreme Court cases are controversial and, consequently,
are of great interest to individuals of various political
opinions, including moderate, progressive and conservative
policy makers. For example, the pledge of allegiance
controversy, global warming controversy and sex education
controversy may be topics of interest to readers. Still, you
could write articles about political humor or your favorite
political groups, such as the Democratic Party - DNC,
Republican Party - GOP, Green Party or the Reform Party.
But you don’t just have to write about
Democrats, Republicans, state politicians, political election
campaigns or local politicians and leaders. The American
Chronicle, California Chronicle and its affiliates have other
types of free web log and article writing opportunities
available. For example, if you like to vacation around the
world, such as in Europe, South America, Asia, Africa,
Canada, England or Australia, you could be an international
travel writer and write travel blogs or international blogs.
So once again, if you are looking for a
writing job, want to get published, publish your articles
nationally or internationally, become a writer, write for a
newspaper or write for a magazine as a freelance writer, then
you might want to contact the American Chronicle or the
California Chronicle and ask if you can publish your work in
a blog or have your articles published in one or all of the
affiliated sites. To be sure, writing for the American
Chronicle and the California Chronicle are great ways for you
to learn how to become an opinion writer while developing
your writing skills to author news analysis, political
commentary or political opinion. It’s not a bad way to
promote yourself and your ideas.

blogger.
