Looking for a Few New Collaborators/Writers/Podcasters

September 29, 2010

Mormon Matters is looking for a few new collaborators to re-work the design and purpose/mission of the blog.  We are basically considering 2 things:

  • Bringing back the weekly panel podcast format, adding in live calls from listeners to the mix (like we’ve done a few times on Mormon Stories), and
  • Looking to turn Mormon Matters into more of a Huffington Post-like blog for Mormon issues

If any of you are interested in helping to manage or support Mormon Matters in this way, please email me at: mormonstories@gmail.com

We remain the 2nd or 3rd most highly trafficked Mormon blog in the Internet….so if any of you are interested in being part of the broader Internet discussion, we’d love to talk.

Qualifications:

  • Really, really good writing skills or conversational ability (for the podcast)
  • A constructive approach towards the LDS church and Mormonism

Thanks!

    [...] Reading the threads, I was actually kind of surprised by how happy some people were to see John Dehlin get taken down a notch! Regarding whether it was a good idea to publicize Elder Jensen’s apology, one can debate that either way. Regarding the separate question of what happened with the Mormon Matters permabloggers, well, as an outsider (just reading what others have written) I’d say John’s actions showed very poor judgement — regardless of whether he was within his rights to do it. When your enemies are circling like vultures, that’s not the most brilliant moment to start alienating your friends. That said, I can easily see how the stress of the angry reaction he got (on his posts about Elder Jensen) — coupled with some real-life stress — might have lead him to act imprudently. I’m very impressed with how Hawkgrrrl and the rest of the gang have kept this parting friendly, and I can’t wait to see their new blog!!! As for John Dehlin, I hope he’s doing OK and getting his real-life obligations taken care of, and that we’ll be seeing him again on the Internet soon with further updates on his plans for MM. [...]
