The Local Globe is an organization dedicated to restoring interest in local news and engagement.  Become a Campaign J ournalist for The Local Globe. You’ll be tasked with investigating local news and stories in your community and writing articles about them. Most of the stories you write will relate to the campaign that The Local Globe is running at that point in time. For example, if TLG ran a Local Sustainability Campaign, a Campaign Journalist may write an article about an eco-friendly garden in their community. Your articles will be published on our website and displayed on our social media.  Responsibilities:  - Write 1-2 articles per month, with the topics of those articles relating to the campaign that TLG is running at that point in time.  - For each article, provide a list of sources used in MLA format  -  Gather detail-rich content (interview content, direct quotes/statements, and other primary resources) to support your articles. - Provide 2-4...

Journalists will be tasked with finding and writing articles about unique stories in each of your communities. These stories, topic-wise, should be (for the most part) unrelated to TLG’s campaigns. For example, in a Local Sustainability Campaign, an External Assignment Journalist would write articles unrelated to environmentalism. Instead, you may interview a new local business owner about their hopes for their enterprise or write about a local initiative to help the homeless or comment on a local political campaign. In a nutshell, the articles written by External Assignment Journalists serve as a stream of content for TLG’s website and social media aside from our campaign material. If you are somebody with a creative wild side who likes writing short and snappy content without a prompt, this role is for you!   Responsibilities:   Write 2-3 articles per month, each one being 600-700 words Gather detail-rich content (interview content, direct quotes/statements, and other...
