Information about the position

Job description, responsibilities and duties

Are you a news junky? Seeking talented writers to join an editorial team for a new, English-language online media project

Your English language skills should be proficient but your written English need not be perfect (we have editors for that). But you should have a good eye for interesting content. The contributing editors will curate important news and commentary articles that appear in the local-language media. Contributing editors should be able to identify quality content – articles that are achieving strong reach and engagement in local media. Contributing editors will, on a daily basis, select a limited number of articles — content will range from news items to commentary pieces to infographics and short videos, etc. — from local-language media to help prepare in English.
