Job Summary
The Flyover requires a writer in Ohio, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, or Pennsylvania for its family of daily newsletters.
You'll need good news judgement, a sharp instinct for "the heart" of stories, and the ability to distill news into helpful, readable short-form content.
Responsibilities
Story Selection
You'll be choosing stories to write about and sources to reference, with the input of an Editor. These decisions will be guided by the overall content strategy and based on previous engagement.
Copywriting and Management
You'll be writing copy for one or two newsletters per day, and you'll work with your editor to develop and maintain a writing voice that matches the larger content strategy. This will involve final edits and revisions aimed at creating a consistent product.
Ongoing Product Development
You'll participate in the iterative process of improving the product. This will be an ongoing cycle of brainstorming new ideas, testing, measuring results, and making changes accordingly.
These developments may involve the newsletter’s content and layout (i.e., story selection strategy, a/b testing in-article elements like graphics, wordcounts in paragraphs, ect), paid subscriber acquisition campaigns, monetization strategy, ect.
Unique Considerations
The newsletter will be sent Monday-Friday, with the possibility of additional days as the readership grows. The starting schedule will be Sunday-Thursday.
Also, this position requires someone who will jump in outside of typical working hours when necessary. For example, if a major story breaks at 8:30 PM, you’ll need to hop online and update the next day’s edition. This kind of thing is atypical, but the ideal candidate will not have a problem working a schedule within the news cycle instead of expecting to work only during typical work hours.
