Online production editors required
- Europe, USA and Australia
Work on the world's leading cycling web site
Training provided to qualified applicants
September 5, 2006: Cyclingnews, the world's leading cycling
web site, is expanding and requires full time online production editors
for its offices in Gent, Belgium; Sydney, Australia, and Virginia, USA.
The position requires applicants to have a keen interest and thorough
knowledge of competitive cycling, as well as some editorial or writing
experience. The position will involve producing reports, results, photos
and features from the world of cycling, so fluency in a second language
is also an advantage, as is a familiarity with online production techniques.
The applicants will need to be self-starters as the position involves
regular liaison with production editors in all Cyclingnews offices.
As Cyclingnews is a 24/7 daily news operation, the position will require
regular weekend work. The weekend duties are handled on a rotating shift
basis with other production editors, so the applicant must be flexible
in their work schedule. However, the majority of work will be done during
normal business hours on week-days.
The online editors will be required to have familiarity with online production
applications (a good working knowledge of HTML and Photoshop are important
skills) and could also be required to attend major cycling events in each
region. However, the primary responsibility is the production of content
for publication on the web site. Training in online production techniques
can be provided to the right applicant with an interest in cycling, ability
to handle the technical processes involved and an ability to communicate.
In your application, please outline your location as we are primarily
looking for persons who reside in each specific country, and in the case
of Europe, have English as a first language (or be very fluent if not)
and hold an EU passport. Please send your CV with a covering letter via
email to jobs@cyclingnews.com
with "Online editing position - (specific region)" in the subject line.
