Jillielush's Journals

I'm writing about Music for Examiner.com

I was recently hired as a freelance contractor for Examiner.com — my official title is “Buffalo Music Examiner” and I just published my first two article today. The first is a piece I originally put together for my Principles of Journalism course at Buffalo State College back in 2007 -- an interview with one of Pitchfork Media's writers. The second article is a preview of Thursday at the Square concert series in Downtown Buffalo. Please feel free to check them out. Thanks in advance ;) And keep checking back because I'll be publishing all sorts of music related articles on a daily/weekly basis -- some geared towards the Buffalo, NY region & others with a national spin.

Oh, and if anyone wants to get involved with writing @ Examiner.com — let me know! They have a pretty sweet referral program!
