Seriously, one of the problems we've encountered is that we receive a column, approve it and slot it for posting, a process that may take 5 or 6 days. By the time it get's posted, too often, the issue has already cooled or been beat to death by other writers. With all the great information on this site, we need to take advantage of our ability to scoop.
We are moving toward setting up a stable of writers who can be assigned issues based on information posted here on the Forum and be ready to publish it within 48 hours.
Not sure what my strengths are that might fit your parameters. Feel free to suggest something you may feel I could offer within your scope.
