Are you a writer and editor with a deep understanding of and curiosity about all facets of Ukraine? Are you excited about shaping ideas into stories, social media posts, and other editorial outputs in collaboration with a diverse community?
If you answered “yes” to the questions above, you might consider applying for the position of Regional Editor for Ukraine.
The Regional Editor will be responsible both for editing stories written by Global Voices’ volunteer contributors and for writing stories about Ukraine. Global Voices stories focus on topics such as internet culture, freedom of speech online, technology and digital rights, human rights, diversity and representation, and language diversity.
The Regional Editor will also work with a diverse community of contributors who write stories, share ideas for stories, and set the editorial agenda for the region by proposing ideas, sharing knowledge, and providing leads.
Preference will be given to candidates with knowledge of languages spoken in Ukraine on top of Ukrainian.
Global Voices is a global, virtual organization. The engine of the Global Voices newsroom is a team of part-time editors who work with volunteer contributors and translators around the world to highlight stories and perspectives that are underrepresented in international mainstream media.
Candidates must be comfortable setting their own schedules and working in a wholly virtual environment.
We strongly welcome candidates currently contributing to the Global Voices project to apply.
The position is part-time and will be treated as a freelance contract.
