Writing for the media

Description

I seek a skilled freelance writer to assist with content creation for an upcoming website and blog. The site will focus on current events, pop culture, and lifestyle topics designed to engage readers and complement other media coverage.
The ideal candidate will have 2+ years experience producing articles, interviews, profiles, and other editorial pieces across a variety of subjects for publications. Strong research, interviewing, and reporting abilities are essential to source newsworthy information and present it in an insightful and compelling manner. Familiarity with AP Style is necessary for maintaining journalistic integrity and consistency across content.
Regular blog posts and articles of 500-800 words will be assigned to keep readership interested and informed. The tone should be casual yet credible using an engaging, conversational style. Headlines, ledes, and nut graphs must entice readers to learn more. Photographs, graphics or other multimedia elements may accompany some pieces to enhance the narrative. Social media promotion of new content on platforms like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn is also expected.
The ideal candidate is a self-motivated creative thinker always on the lookout for interesting story ideas. A proven track record of meeting tight deadlines while maintaining high editing and fact-checking standards is crucial. College education in journalism, communications or similar field is preferred. Non-US candidates must have proper work eligibility in North America.
