Fuzz Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 We're looking for another person to join the team as a news editor. We're back-logged on stories and need to do a better job keeping up with everything that's going on. We'd really like to bring on a GDCer if possible. Responsibilities: Write up Green Day news in a timely manner Requirements: You need to be dependable and trustworthy. Having access to GDA isn't something I give out lightly, as it's read by hundreds of thousands of people every month, including Green Day's management. I need to be able to trust your judgement on whether something should be posted or not, and trust you with information that we decide can't be shared. Writing Experience: All I care about is your ability to write in English, with a good handle on grammar, and being able to explain or recap in a concise and accurate way. Location: We don't really care where you're from in the world. Currently, almost all our entire staff is based in the US, and as a result, we're often busy or not-available at the same time. So stuff won't get posted as quickly as we'd like when we're all busy. We're primarily looking for someone who can spare a little time in the middle of the day (US time) to help post news. How to apply: Find a story we haven't posted on GDA and write up a draft. Try to keep it brief, yet with enough information to inform people what's going on with a little context (if it's needed). Include your name (and GDC username), age, location, and why you'd like to be a part of the team. Email your submission to team@greendayauthority.com with the subject "Editor". Deadline: Get your email in to us by Wednesday, October 19th (11:59pm EDT). We'll review the applications and pick someone within the next week. Thanks!
21guns&novacaine Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Can the story we write about be something based off a current thread we have? Like for example, writing about a setlist at a certain show, announcements of new music videos, etc.

21guns&novacaine Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 An additional questions: If hired, how quickly do you need to have stories out? And are you just responsible for writing up articles for all kinds of news, minor and major? Sorry for asking so many questions, but I'd rather be sure I can handle the work before applying and not being able to.
