Does anybody have any experience as a journalist?

So I completed my Vice application with the cover letter and resume and I wanted to also send in an article with it. I contacted a guy i know who was heavily into graffiti up north as well as in SC. I wanted to do a piece on southern graffiti. This is a really interesting guy who has been interviewed for magazines in Europe and has done some really amazing work that he has shown me. He loaned me a documentary to kind of get acclimated to it. I've had brief conversations with him about it, and it really is an interesting sub-culture.

 

My mother was a journalist for 10 years in the Bay Area and has given me some pointers, but the plan so far is to go to a tag site and then have an interview afterwards. I'm not sure if he is still up for tagging at the spot, so i'll have to see. But he has also given me some contacts in the Asheville area, to show me some of the work his "crew" has done some years ago.  I really want to write an in depth piece but at the same time not incriminate anybody.  If anybody has seen the Banksy doc you will understand.  A lot of this stuff is intertwined with hip-hop music and skateboarding.

 

I'm planning on sending out a bunch of resumes to different companies with this article so any advice anybody could give would be awesome.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
    • Start posting in threads in the other forums instead of just creating threads. No one comes over here so you aren't starting conversations.  Get your ass up to 100 posts. It's not that hard. Don't create 100 posts. Contribute to conversations. 
    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
