As long as whoever wrote that is not on the writing team, they'll be fine.

Skeptical as I am, I wish you good luck with this initiative.

Well you should be skeptical, it looks as if nobody has responded to this. I wish I could help out, but my English is not good enough by a far shot.

Hi Golden Girl, The staff can put as much time in as they wish, Afterall they are volunteers. Though we are working on getting some bonuses^^.
I'm interested in helping out and I did send you a PM a while ago.
My deviantART page (warning some images nsfw)
GGRRR Comic Series GGRRR Comics on Facebook
As I am currently unemployed (and hence find myself with oodles of time for playing CoH *grin*), I would be happy to volunteer - proofreading, perhaps writing or advice, and I know some players whom I can tap for advice and/or badge stuff. One of them now has over 700 badges on one of his alts... 
Plenty of free time and might be interested in the Market/Advice spots.
Bio.
I sent an email in game from character Angry Commissar, but haven't had any kind of response (positive or negative)
Please let me know if you're still looking for writers, as I'd still be very interested and enthusiastic in proceeding with this on a volunteer basis.
Grab me on @Mackie or Angry Commissar or Rage Commissar on Union.
Sent a PM a while ago, but no response, so I guess my wobbly pics aren't needed. 
Best of luck with getting this running, I'm looking forward to reading it

I'd be interested as an interviewer.
I'd be interested as a writeer, depending on how much time is needed ^^
As this is voluntary, would be any time you wish to put in.
As we need a lot of staff teams, so we can all set the times out, in which all would be comfortable in working in. All people are welcome to apply. Be sure to drop in a Private Message with me, and then we can go further ^^
Best of luck to all, and that show interest. We really need staffers!
im intrested in helping anyway i can advice/scouting/badging would be my ideal jobs mainly advice but do anything needed
Do you think it might be a good idea now to have a combined version for America and Europe, as the forums are going to be merged soon?

I think that CityScoop EU and US will always be affiliated to each other, as we share the name, and share the same ideology's in a sense.
Although I think that in order for both CityScoops to function efficiently, it would be wise to keep both teams separate, and both of the news releases separate, Though we can obviously communicate for tips, and other thing's in the future.
The CityScoop US Leader has been amazing in terms of help and friendliness towards the idea of CityScoop EU, And forever grateful for that.
But yes, we will consider to be separate for now.
Getting detached for 4 months soon so it's a little pointless for me to apply. Perhaps after the Xmas holidays I'll apply.
CityScoop, The vastly popular fan-based City of Heroes/Villains Newsletter has been brought into the European Community.
With everything being new, Although affiliated with the CityScoop US Team, CityScoop EU aims to bring the newsletter to the European Community.
The project had been started from Core-Union Players, Neutronic Girl(@Newt) has taken up the role of managing the whole project along with Avatea as assitance, @Salacious, @Shades and @Saphi have also joined the core team of start-ups.
We are currently seeking highly-active Players willing to put in a bit of time for this voluntary-project and regardless of your server or your nationality, we will welcome your enthusiasm in the CityScoop EU editorial team!
Current positions open:
Writing Team, Interviews Team, Market Team, Advice, Badging Unit, Art Correspondents and Scouting Team.
Actual amount of staff for each do vary, So if you wish to know more please do not hesitate to contact "Kev" via Private Message or @Newt ingame on the Union Server.
Over time we may be hiring for individual server-teams, however not upon initial launch.
