Do you ever publish articles from freelancers? I'd be interested in submitting stuff occasionally but I can't apply for a reg. staff position right now.
I think the way it's being chosen could be bad tbh
I've been hiring ppl for ivibes.nu for a long time and I'd rather pick someone who's very knowledgable about the music and passionate but not as great a writer than somebody who is an immaculate writer but without a good grasp on the music knowledge. just my opinion anyway

Passion is definitely more important. Key to a good site is knowledge proper facts. Good writing comes second.

Well, to answer your question, you need both: on one hand, ppl need to be able to write something in decent English without me having to revise and proofread everything (especially since I'm not around 24/7)... also, style is important, because you want to publish something interesting and well written, not a jumble of ideas and mistakes...
On the other hand, the more these ppl are passionate and knowledgeable, the better... I mean you can always learn but to a certain extent... you cannot do a good job unless you're motivated to write about something you know and like...
