What tier is this activity?
Answered

I just received news that I might be a volunteer "community" writer for my city's biggest newspaper. I looked online and its among the top 50 nationwide (America).

What tier would this be? I'm asking since I'm not technically getting paid for the position, but nonetheless still a writer for them, whose articles will be posted on their website.

The activity best aligns with "employment". Find the one that lists unpaid internships and medium or large business. It should be tier 2a. It wouldn't be tier 3a, because from what you've listed in the question, it's the city's biggest newspaper so it's highly highly likely that it's not a small business. Technically, this can count as an internship because you're not getting paid for it and this probably aligns with your interests

Hope this helps
