We’re putting together our upcoming issue (due for release in the UK in April and May in the US).
Our British editorial team’s background is strangely enough in US Politics - first at Bristol, Oxford, and Trinity Dublin Universities respectively, then in the Office of Conrgessman Leonard Boswell (IA -3), then on the 2008 Obama Presidential campaign in Petersburg, VA.
To those ends, in these uncertain and unpredictable times for the US press, and indeed freedom of speech more broadly, we very much wanted to provide a platform for young American journalists, hoping to go into political reporting, and shine a light on their feelings with regards what could potentially be a seismic shift in the role of the reporter in the Trump era. What are the hopes and fears? How do your young students feel that the principle of journalistic responsibility to hold Trump to account and shine a light on his (various!) indiscretions applies to the media at large, now, and over the course of his upcoming presidency.
Moreover, how has the democratisation of the internet helped shape your young student’s intentions to pursue a career in journalism? Do the traditional pillars of print still hold as much weight and appeal as they once did for impending graduates, or does the wave of new media - VOX, 538 etc. have progressively more appeal?
We would be very much open to such a piece being authored by one student in particular, however, we are equally as interested in the documentation of a round-table discussion between students.

As part of the yearly review process at my company, we are encouraged to seek feedback from our colleagues in various forms. Instead of emailing my co-workers a list of questions and getting back a few paragraphs of text, I'd love to take myself out of the equation entirely and try a potentially more interesting and objective approach--that's where you come in.
I'm looking for a crack interviewer to do a few 10 minute interviews with some of the folks I work with. Distill what you learn and hear into an engaging piece of writing (or audio!) that can help me reflect on the past year, evaluate my performance and contribution, and think about ways to change or grow in the future.
It's a quick turnaround (deadline is Monday, January 30), but I can help with scheduling interviews (which can be remote) and other logistics. Final piece should be around 1000 words or 3 minutes of audio.
Working remotely might work, but in NY is preferred.
