In 2006 alone, we published articles from 17 countries on five continents, and our articles have won national recognition, including a 2006 Excellence in Online Journalism Award from the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association. Our advisory board includes such distinguished figures in journalism and academia as Ray Suarez, William Julius Wilson, and Helen Zia. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with a team of talented and passionate writers, editors, and artists; learn about online publishing; and influence public discussions about issues that you are passionate about.
We are looking for a talented writer, editor, and manager to oversee the magazine's day-to-day operations, recruit new contributors and staff members, plan special issues, coordinate an all-volunteer staff of about 12, ensure that about 5-7 stories are published each month in a timely manner, write a monthly preview to each edition of the magazine, and plan and lead regular editorial board meetings each month (wirelessly). For this position, top-notch organization skills, reliability, the ability to manage a team of volunteers, enthusiasm, and creativity count for just as much, if not more, than editorial experience.
We seek someone who can commit to working with us for at least one year for about 8 to 10 hours each week. All work can be done from your home, as you will communicate with other editors and writers primarily through e-mail and the phone. A small honorarium is included for this position.
Application instructions:
Interested applicants should send resume, cover letter, writing samples and professional references to bizrecruit@inthefray.org. Applicants without an position-appropriate cover letter will not be considered. Please list your full name and position title in the subject line.
