Job Description

Position description

The Bangor Daily News, an innovative, award-winning, and family-owned digital media company, is seeking a part-time, freelance writer for its premium newsletter aimed at political professionals. 

This contractor role would be responsible for producing the lead item in Maine Politics Insider, a paid newsletter sent five days a week, 50 weeks a year (excluding holidays), arriving in subscribers' inboxes each morning at 7 a.m.

We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of Maine politics and a demonstrated ability to provide exclusive information. 

A journalism background would be great, but we welcome applicants who have worked in or near Maine politics and can bring unique insight and expertise to our audience. You need to understand what lobbyists, legislators, staffers and political junkies want to know and be able to write in an engaging and chatty tone. Little scoops, smart takes, a hyper-local sense of the affairs of the State House and informed gossip are all great.

This is a freelance, contracted role that pays $25 per hour.

Application instructions

To apply, please submit your resume and at least three writing samples.

Please be sure to indicate you saw this position on Globaljobs.org
