Reporter/Blogger

A couple of things: We shy away from journalistic voice. We want to be video/photo heavy. We like to work in teams. You must be ok with being edited.

We do have a real editorial cycle. You pitch ideas, you create the post and then I edit the post. I can help with idea generation, training, etc. We have video cameras, too!

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to shoot or edit video. We can teach you that.

You must be able to commit to at least 1 post every two weeks (preferably once a week).
