• Enjoy being recognized as an expert on your topic, similar to some Examiners who have been interviewed by The Today Show, NPR, E!, CNN, Fox Sports, ESPN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Discovery Channel, The Wall Street Journal, and other media outlets.

Although this is not the kind of opportunity where you can quit your day job, Examiners can definitely earn some extra cash while gaining exposure through their writing and growing online presence.

Who are Examiners?

• Screened writers who provide reliable information on a local subject of their choosing
• Photographers who provide captivating images and stories for their audience
• Credible, passionate, and knowledgeable insiders who contribute original content to entertain, inform, and inspire their readers
• People from all walks of life - college students, civil servants, stay-at-home parents, retirees, PhDs, musicians, scientists and professional journalists who have full-time or part-time jobs.

As an Examiner, you will have your own page on the Examiner.com website, complete with a bio and photo, to showcase your articles about a specific topic in your area of expertise. This is not your personal story. Our writers and photographers provide useful information on specific topics.

The talented people we're looking for can provide their local community with interesting and helpful information in one of 25 categories such as Arts & Entertainment, Business & Finance, Food & Drink, Home & Living, etc. There are unlimited topics to choose from within each category. If you don't see what you're looking for, propose your own when you apply!
