Independent Journalist Needed to Evaluate Industry Publication

I am looking for an experienced journalist (not a marketing writer or SEO writer) to independently research an industry publication called Coatings World. The purpose of this project is not to advocate for me personally. Instead, I am looking for an independent journalistic assessment regarding whether Coatings World is recognized as a major publication within the global coatings and specialty additives industry. The successful candidate should conduct their own independent research using publicly available information and prepare a brief opinion letter (approximately 2–4 pages) describing their findings. The opinion should be based entirely on independent research and professional journalistic judgment. Ideal qualifications include: • Professional journalism experience (10+ years preferred) • Newspaper or magazine reporting/editing background • Investigative or business journalism experience • Experience researching organizations, publications, or industries • Strong professional writing skills Prior knowledge of the coatings / chemical industry preferred but not necessary
