Former branch member Jon Pratty is looking for a ‘middle-level journo’ with experience of online working to run Icons Online website. Deadline, Tuesday May 8. Five weeks holiday a year, 37.5 hours a week for £17,500 (we suggest you ask for a wage rise on your first day if you get it). Closing date Tuesday May 8.
ICONS, a major online project funded by Culture Online, is coming under the editorial supervision of the 24 Hour Museum. The job will be an interesting mix of tasks, from sifting nominations for ICON status and answering email enquiries, to researching and writing articles and features for new ICON entries, sourcing pictures and editing and uploading content.
The mix of skills, initiative and judgement needed to do the job successfully means we are seeking a qualified journalist (to NCTJ standard) with recent experience and a self-starting and positive attitude. A willingness to travel around the UK to research information and an interest in culture is essential. Duties include:
• Research and write articles, features and news stories for ICONS / 24HM website.
• Take responsibility for maintenance of the ICONS site. Maintain scrutiny of specific site sections and ensure they are accurate and up-to-date.
• Assist in maintaining a contacts book and story diary
• Liaise with contacts, press officers and PR agencies as necessary.
Plus any other duties that are seen to be appropriate to the post.
Contact Jon Pratty at editor@24hourmuseum.org.uk for an application form or we can forward a pdf on to you!
