Sporting News is seeking a part-time freelance contributing writer to join its Wires Network. This is a high-volume writing position best suited for candidates looking for supplemental work or aspiring journalists looking to gain experience.
The ideal candidate will be proficient in writing AFL stories and understand the players, teams and stories that resonate the most with sports fans in Australia.
You will be tasked with finding your own stories from a multitude of sources, producing and publishing your own content, with the role helping the writer to pick up vital skills, experience and examples of work for their journalism portfolio.
SN’s Wires Network creates feed-friendly informative content tailored for the casual fan:
If that sounds like you, we want to talk!
A word to the wise: We aren’t looking for beat writer match reports. We aren’t looking for long-form features or investigative reporting. We aren’t looking for hot takes or commentary. While there’s certainly a home for that type of content, it doesn’t mesh with this specific opportunity.
Your salary will be derived from a baseline fee and CPM model which will be based around the amount of content produced and subsequent page views for that content.
Bear in mind that this role is suited for applicants wanting to gain experience in the industry or looking for additional paid work on top of their current employment.
THE PROJECT:
After you apply, unlock the direct contact details of the people who actually make the call. A quick follow-up makes you 5x more likely to land an interview.
