Joe,

I think they were focusing on location of the writers. Here is what they had out there:

The first 4 writers they had:
There will be a writer from North, South, East and West. Simply: Chicago, Nashville, New York, and California.

5th writer
..and Sundays will be open each week for a guest writer - or for a noted musician himself.

And 2 at Large writers (takes it to 7):
And one day of the week will be Photo day..Photos, Photos, Photos from our man in
New York City.

And, I got it because of my female gender! They didn't have a girl. So I am the 2nd at large writer.

I can only tell you what they have decided upon and not how they decided. I hope this helps.

Monica
