The Tanooki’s Daily Recap – July 24, 2008

How are your writing skills? If you think you’ve got a college-level writing ability or better, a sense of wit and humor, experience with Photoshop, and basic HTML skills, we’re looking to bolster our Nintendo team reporting staff. We’re getting to the time of year when Matt and I are practically unavailable for the month, and the rest of our crew is stretched this with other work obligations.

We’re primarily concerned with reporter positions at the moment to cover the stories missed by my (and others’) absence, but once things get back to normal around here, we’ll have a number of growth opportunities for you – especially since we’ll have a bigger staff and even bigger aspirations for the site. ;)

    Question.

    What exactly would it entail? Something I’ve wondered is where you guys get your news. >_>’

  • http://www.thetanooki.com Christian

    News with a source link at the bottom is obtained right from that source link. Often times, those links are submitted to us through news tips.

    More recently, though, when we don’t source another site or blog, it’s because the news or media was obtained directly from game publishers. Usually, it’s through a restricted press site.

    Feel free to email me at christian [at] thetanooki [dot] com if you have further questions.
