Looking for a Real Journalist

Posted last month

Summary

I'm looking for a good and affordable journalist–someone who can write business and technology articles for a niche market my publication covers involving payments and mobility. You'll need to be able to collect additional information from sources, including by email, since all articles are originally written and contain some new or exclusive information. You'll also need to be able to cut through hype and corporate talking points and not be spoon-fed information. You should be eager to dig for information and not take no for an answer when an official or executive refuses to give up the information you are asking for, especially if that information should be made public. You should persistently--yet always politely--continue to try to obtain the information. Accuracy is the most important attribute of every article. As editor, I can and probably will ask you to try again to find more information that nails down the story and makes it exclusive. And please note that as you gather more information, sometimes the angle or focus of the story will change somewhat. That should be expected.. If you consider yourself a writer first and journalist second, then you shouldn't apply. The articles must not be written by AI. Repeat, the articles must NOT be written by AI. The job will pay more as the applicant proves him or herself. To start, fees range from $100 to $300. And I reserve the right to pay bonuses for articles that uncover important information or really break new ground.
