The best I can advise is to show them that you are very passionate in a cover letter when you summit your articles...
Be fair, interesting to the readers... Oh tell them you do it on a trail bases, to see if the readers like your articles....
Be resilient and don't give up.... Keep writing on the Internet, Build a following ...
start by getting a journalism degree. it's tough to get that job. it's the most sought after job at the newspaper. you get to eat at good restaurants for free and they treat you like a king because they want a good review. so basically it takes good luck and timing.
