The Nerd Report opens

Friday, May 2, 2008

The Internet (TNR) - The new nerd news agency, "The Nerd Report," opened today, with a mission of bringing news of interest to nerds together in one place, with a mildly humorous bent.

"This agency is starting out small, but we hope to become a part of many nerds' and geeks' daily news fix," said the Editor-In-Chief in a statement. "We are currently looking for writers and editors, willing to write and post articles for the site. We also hope to eventually open a video newscast division."

Subjects that The Nerd Report will cover include gaming, technology, Internet news, and sundry other geeky topics.

Asked about the intended tone of the agency's reporting, the Editor-In-Chief responded: "We don't want to just report dry facts; I personally would like to inject some humor into this. That's not to say we'll be like The Onion; while we have great respect for America's Finest News Source, we're looking to report actual facts here, not just make stuff up. We'll leave that to the professionals," he said with a smile.

Applicants for open positions on The Nerd Report's staff may contact the Editor-In-Chief. "Anyone with an interest in writing news stories of interest to geeks and nerds is welcome to apply. Contact information is listed on the Nerd Report's website, http://thenerdreport.blogspot.com/."
