As a contributor of Tripped Media you'll not only help revamp the global understanding of the editorial industry but you'll be at the heart of a revolution. Your purpose will be to create articles with a passion for the millenial generation. This is a work at home position that meets with editors periodically throughout the month. Because we're a startup there is potential for contractual longterm positions at the end of your trial period.
The Writer-At-Large shall cover all content for the site as it identifies with and relates to MH’s target demographic. The candidate should have a strong interest in a diverse range of topics.
Responsibilities Include: Assisting in the process of developing and presenting all content for assigned pieces in all related sections of the site. Providing the creative influence that is congruent with sites focus and target demo. Writing specific commentary, features editorial pieces etc.
Researcher-reporter with some social media responsibilities. Training and guidance provided.
You'll work part-time, with flexible hours, from your own location. You will do research and reporting for notable investigative projects, features, and essays. You may also be asked to help with our outreach efforts, including social media.
This is an ideal opportunity for a self-starting, positive individual who already possesses good background in journalism or policy or other related research but would like to further develop and refine his or her research, reporting and writing skills.
You'll be given the chance to tackle some very sophisticated material, and, with guidance, will be expected to perform at a level of proficiency that is seldom required in more rudimentary internships. You should be highly skilled at online research and at reading for analysis of nuanced and complex subjects, have strong interpersonal abilities and be comfortable interacting with and questioning strangers, including powerful and forceful individuals. You should have strong writing skills and be organized. You should be a “news and information junkie” who routinely stays up on what is happening in America and the world.
This is an unpaid opportunity. Modest compensation is possible after initial training period and evidence of high-quality work, but any such sum will not be substantial. Such training, however, can be very helpful in gaining experience with and insight into investigative and socially-conscious journalism, developing contacts, and building a career path. Also, you will likely be given byline credit on some stories. Past interns have moved on to satisfying and significant jobs in journalism. This can also lead to paid, full-time work with our organization.
We are looking for articles, photo features, presentations, films, podcasts and even cartoons about issues you care about. Your job is to produce incisive and insightful content about any issue you care about. It could be in any form - what we care about is quality and thoughtfulness.
We are a public humanities Forum at Fordham Law School with a large audience, and are looking for smart writers to contribute to our blog. If you open our link: http://www.forumonlawcultureandsociety.org/, you will see that we host high profile guests such as Mario Cuomo, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Sam Waterston for engaging conversations in Lincoln Center. The purpose of the public programs is to enrich the cultural life of New York City however our mission has a much broader audience. We aim to be the leader in providing original content on issues of social consequence and public interest, and we do this through our blog.
Every week the students would be expected to write two formatted blog posts on our key topics and attend weekly strategy meetings with the Forum team and our Web site development team. Recently our bloggers have written about the trials of Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Casey Anthony, as well as Oliver Stone who will be appearing at our annual Film Festival in October. This position requires time dedicated to keeping current with news stories and writing blog entries on topics relevant to the Forum. Depending on the law and culture news stories that arise, the Forum Director Professor Thane Rosenbaum may also write a piece for the New York Times, Huffington Post, Wall Street Journal etc., and we will want to continue the theme on our blog. Other posts would be open for the student to take the lead once they are comfortable with our niche. We would also like them to be available to live blog our fall events (evenings) which include a week long film festival from Oct 14 - 20 and a conversation night at the Time Warner Center in November.
No prior law experience is necessary. We are a public Forum, and our contributors write for the general public. Those who have worked with us have enjoyed the experience while boosting their resume and have a great compilation of essays on an award-winning Web site to show future employers.
