A leading NewMedia aviation/aerospace news organization does it all... online news, audio, video, special reports, and syndicated programming, you name it. We've been doing it for over a quarter-century, we're one of the most widely read/viewed in our field, and have a dedicated staff of professionals reaching hundreds of thousands of interested aviators and aviation professionals all over the world. And -- we need additional staff!
We're looking for solid aviation/aerospace news-writers for full-time contract positions ASAP. Current positions do not require a move and can be worked from a home office, so long as the successful applicant can produce solid work, on deadline, in a dependable, disciplined manner.
The qualified respondent needs the following:
* SOLID aviation/aerospace writing and journalism credentials/abilities (pilot's license very helpful)
* SOLID photographic/graphic web smarts
* Good basic web skills (light HTML know-how and some grasp of graphics/photo-editing) and associated online search/E-Mail skills
* A strong work/journalism ethic, and an ability to meet and adhere to tight deadlines
* Solid Social Media knowledge and skillset
* RELIABLE full-time access to a fairly speedy Internet connection (DSL, ADSL, T1, T3, Pipeline to the Almighty, etc...)
* A computer with the ability to keep up with a number of graphic chores and editorial efforts, and the ability to work with a 'unique' crew of staffers. Since this job is computer-based, it (generally) does not matter where you live and we are, of course, unconcerned about your workspace so long as the job gets done (and the less info we have about someone working in pink shorts and fuzzy bunny slippers, the better).
* Persons with experience in electronic news-writing for radio or TV are particularly welcome to apply, as our need for Video Editorial staff is about to grow again.
* Perhaps above all else, we need flexibility and dedication. As the saying goes, the news stops for no one... and while there are days a person can wrap up a full day's work in relatively little time, on some days you may be looking at 10-12 hours of hard work. It doesn't happen very often... but when it does, we count on our staff to step up.
Special Note: In all the turmoil as a result of the pandemic, we are emphasizing the hiring of a Part-Time position, opening up very shortly, that could lead to Full-Time as the world normalizes.
Interested?
Please send your resume, an intro letter, and contact information to us right away... as this position is ready and waiting for the right person, right now.
