Helium.com's Answer to the Newspaper Downturn jan 30 2009
Helium’s community continues to revolutionize the writing world Hi Jack,
The achievements of our writing community have proven to the world that a democratic publishing platform – open, competitive and rewarding -- leads to high quality. Helium’s meritocracy allows published authors, career journalists, professional freelancers, subject matter experts and talented writers from all walks of life equal publishing opportunities and rewards. Now we want to recognize your expertise at Helium.
Quality rises to the top, and Helium has risen in the eyes of the nation. Check out Helium’s CEO on national TV talking about Helium’s answer to the struggling newspaper industry.
Helium has also begun to recognize the professionals among us. Later this year, we’ll add badges for subject matter experts who’ve written a significant number of high-quality articles in each subchannel. Differences between amateurs and professionals can be measured in titles and degrees, but sometimes it’s a matter of hours and experience. By identifying our experts, we can open the door to more specialized publishers who will higher pay in Helium’s Marketplace.
The first professionals recognized by Helium represent an important cross-section of our population.
Legal professionals: The enforcers who help ensure our society follows the rule of law and protects the innocent.
Journalism professionals: The reporters who form the fourth estate to hold our government accountable and keep us informed of breaking news.
Now tell us what you do: If you’re a medical or legal professional, please send us your Helium About Me page URL, plus a website link and license-verifying information. If you’re a professional journalist, send us your About Me URL, resume, clips and a reference we can contact. Email experts@helium.com with your information.
We want to introduce programs for social workers, teachers, financial professionals and more. Let us know your profession so you can get your byline the recognition you deserve at Helium.
