Hostwriter is a great concept … a good idea for journalists. Networking and global thinking … Sandra, one of the founders of Hostwriter said it in an interview perfectly:
“Finde JETZT die Story, den Kollegen, die Übernachtungsmöglichkeit für DEINE Recherche. Gleichzeitig füllt hostwriter.org eine Lücke, die sich ergeben hat: Während sich Wirtschaft und Politik immer mehr institutionalisiert haben, hinkt der Journalismus hinterher. Viele Geschichten können aber heute nur global gedacht und erzählt werden.” (Sandra Zistl)
Dear Hermann-Josef Tenhagen, that’s great that you like the idea. hostwriter is now online and you’re welcome to join the network anytime: https://hostwriter.org/. Let’s collaborate!

Congratulations. I think this is a great initiative – nothing less that to bring to the surface the yet hidden 1+1=3 potential of writers and researchers. My God, if ever society needed to have more effective checks & balances… In the U.S. there is a saying: perception is everything. IMO, this almost automatically implies that the story ‘we’ want to tell better be mightier than the sword. My suggestion would be to introduce some sort of forum / chat room in which people who happen to share the same interests and/or ambitions can be matched. I already have one I would very much like to bring forward.
Dear Ralph, thank you for your feedback! hostwriter_beta has been online for roughly a month now and we are in the middle of making plans for the next steps towards 1.0. Including a hostwriter forum is definately one of these ideas….! If you can think of other tools you’d like to be included, we are happy to hear them, just send us a mail to news (at) hostwriter . org. Thank you.
