News Not Noise is hiring an experienced journalist to write a biweekly newsletter that publishes at the end of day on Mondays and Fridays (3pm PT/6pm ET). This is a freelance remote position.

As a newsletter writer for New Not Noise, you will work with Jessica Yellin and the News Not Noise team to identify, research, and write the top news stories of the week in a newsletter for distribution twice weekly. You will communicate the news using clear, accessible language and sharp analysis to help audience members better understand important events – without giving them a panic attack. The role requires creative thinking about what should count as news; helping to identify experts, authors and creators for collaboration; surfacing under-reported stories and relevant lifestyle stories; and balancing difficult news with news that inspires awe, curiosity and even hope. The work will include campaign coverage as the election nears; an interest in politics will be helpful. People of all genders, races, orientations and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

*  Sharp news writing skills including clear, concise language that doesn’t miss

nuance.

*  Excellent news judgment, including ability to discern important stories, identify

sources, and fact-check claims.

*  Familiarity with social media, trending topics and viral stories. You know it’s going

to be viral before it’s viral.

*  Speed, accuracy and a determination to get it done.

*  Ability to work remotely, independently, and/or collaboratively.

*  Ability to consistently meet deadlines.

*  Ability to receive and incorporate editorial feedback.

*  Openness to pitch editorial ideas.

*  An eye for the unusual, curiosity and compassion are key.

*  Sense of humor is a must!

preferred.
