Do YOU want to be an X Factor reporter?

By nwilliams

I am looking for one (or two) Firstnews.co.uk readers to write reports on what is going on in the X Factor.

You'll get your reports published in the news section of the website, a special avatar, a mention in the newspaper and a special goody bag when the X Factor is over.

You'll need to be prepared to write at least one report per week after the X Factor has been on.

To apply, leave a comment below:

** edit ** my email is Nicola.Williams@firstnews.co.uk.

    I think I'd like to try that Nic. It would be really cool to do a real report, because I love writing! I will be prepared to write at least one report after it was on.

    Ok, you are both in. Every Sunday or Monday I need you to email me at least one article about what happened on X Factor. Do you both have my email ad?

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Tuesday, 24 August 2010 @ 16:47

    Yay! What is your email adress? By the way, I have to say, this weekend I am away on holiday and I come back on Monday, so I could probably get the article to you Monday evening. Is that ok?

  • rockgirl (Age 11) wrote on Tuesday, 24 August 2010 @ 16:48
