Seeking Part-Time Writers For New NFL Rumors Website
We're launching a new NFL Rumors Website early in 2014, in the mold of MLB Trade Rumors and Hoops Rumors. I will be the site's full-time writer and editor, and we're looking to build a team of Part-Time contributors who will be paid hourly. The criteria:
Exceptional k**wledge of all 32 NFL teams, with ** discernible bias. K**wledge of transaction-related concepts.
Extensive writing experience is necessary with professional experience preferred. A background in journalism is a plus.
Attention to detail -- absolutely ** spelling errors, especially for player and journalist names. Ability to follow the site's style and tone.
Ability to analyze articles and craft intelligent, well-written posts summing up the news in a few paragraphs. We need the best of both worlds: quick writing with thoughtful analysis. You must be able to add value to breaking news with your own insight, numbers, or links to other relevant articles.
Ability to use an RSS feed reader such as Feedly. Ability to use Twitter. Both of these are crucial.
Strong evening availability -- typically 5-11pm central time shifts. Writers covering Monday through Friday evenings will change week to week, but we'd also like people to regularly take specific weekend daytime shifts.
At least some college education is required.
If you're interested, email [email protected] and take a couple paragraphs to explain how you qualify and stand out. Many will likely apply, so unfortunately we can**t respond to all applications.
