The Canadian Media Guild is seeking a part-time editor for Story Board, a blog that creates an online space for media freelancers in Canada.
The editor will be engaged to work an average of about 10 hours per week developing original copy for blog entries, covering industry news and events, seeking and editing submissions from occasional contributors, and developing the readership and participation in the blog through social media.
The editor will work independently and make day-to-day decisions about content that appears on thestoryboard.ca. The editor will be supported by the CMG’s communications co-ordinator, as well as members of the freelance alliance working group. Ideally, the editor will be a member of the CMG’s Freelance Branch or represented by the Canadian Writers Group. Experience with Twitter and WordPress (or a similar blogging platform) is preferred.
The editor will be paid $40 per hour for up to 10 hours per week.
Please send a brief note describing your experience and why you are interested, along with a copy of your CV, to Karen Wirsig (karen@cmg.ca) on or before Wednesday, June 13.
