Contract: 24 hours per week
Location: Canada (virtual office)
Are you a Canadian news junkie who knows the keyboard is more powerful than the sword? Do you understand the power of media in making political and social change, and want to do something about the need for a powerful, alternative, progressive media voice in Canada? If this sounds like you, read on.
For 15 years, rabble.ca has been Canada’s leading non-profit, independent, progressive news site. rabble is seeking a dynamic Editor to direct and oversee day-to-day news and features; to contribute their voice to the site; to curate our home page; and to foster community, interactivity and promotion of key thematic content across the site and our social media platforms.
Canadian media is in a time of great flux which presents independent media with unique opportunities and challenges: we are seeking an Editor who is passionate about the future of news, enthusiastic about taking up the challenge of transforming how news is done, and keen to position rabble.ca in a changing media landscape.
In addition to being the senior editorial voice on the website, this senior editorial member is responsible for rabble’s “news and features” section — including assigning, editing and publishing news, interviews, and special thematic features, videos, photographs and graphics, polls, as well as responding to editorial inquiries on behalf of the website, and overseeing staff writers and contributing editors. Broadly, the Editor deploys rabble’s editorial vision and strategies, and is one of rabble’s spokespersons.
The Editor works closely with the Managing Editor and Publisher, in collaboration with all members of rabble’s editorial team, including volunteers and interns.
More details, including how to apply, are available here. The deadline for applications is November 4, 2016.
