Brickset takes on three new staff members to improve news coverage

 

  • Brickset takes on three new staff members to improve news coverage

    Posted by Huw, 21 Sep 2009 17:40. Filed under Brickset.

    Following my recruitment drive for news correspondents last week, please welcome our three new staff members:

    Their primary role will be to report on news in their own countries so between them, myself and bluemoose in the UK and Grahame in New Zealand, we'll be able to provide a more balanced news coverage for the major English speaking countries (but I'd still like someone from Canada!)

    This improvement has been made as a direct result of comments in the survey I ran in August. Expect more to come.

I've been a brickset member for maybe 2 months (or less no, more) and wanted to know how old you have to be to join brickset.

But, for now congratulations jkool, danjc and MinifigHQ. I know you're joining the GREATEST website on the internet WELL everyone knows Google is somewhat better BECAUSE it leads us TO brickset... and more! Lets give a round-of-applause (or however you would say that) to huw and the rest of the gang by saying 'clap' to in your box.

Great to see the new folks on board!

I was too slow to get an application in, so it seems I've missed out... Any chance of having a correspondent for East Coast Australia? ;-)
