Unfortunately our current Assistant, Zandera, has a lot of RL engagements, and we are now looking for a new Assistant Editor.

More Specifically, we are looking for someone to help with Archiving current and previous TVT articles into the Library. The TVT is running very healthy, but this one task is falling between the cracks and it is where we need the help the most.

The position of Assistant Editor will require plenty of regular checking-in, both via email and the boards. The Editor is solely responsible for the publication of the TVT on the site Community page, but she could definitely use some Assistance with other duties. See below for details. Questions? Email marketing@tarvalon.net, editor@tarvalon.net and keeper@tarvalon.net

Assistant Editor of the Tar Valon Times
This is an Staff Position within the Department of Marketing. The Assistant Editor reports first to the Editor of the TVT and then to the Director of Marketing.

Job Specifics

  • Helps the Editor manage TVT reporter staff and guest reporters, and ensure that all article/publishing deadlines are met
  • Is him/herself a reporter for the TVT, and writes articles on a regular basis. S/he helps keep other reporters motivated to write and to adhere to article deadlines.
  • Co-run the TVT thread in the General Forum
  • Co-run the thread in the TVT Forum
  • Help come up with new concepts and ideas for the TVT to keep content and format fresh.
  • Be responsible for archiving the previous TVT in the library
  • Assist in editing submitted content when necessary
  • Steps in to act as Editor when the Editor is unavailable for some reason, under the guidance of the Director of Marketing.



Qualifications
  • Anyone of any rank or position may apply. Must have been a member of the site for at least 6 months.
  • Ability to write clearly in English with acceptable grammar and spelling.
  • Experience in writing/editing, preferably in a journalism setting, either online or in 'real-life' experiences.
  • Have a working knowledge of HTML, or the ability to pick said working knowledge up extremely rapidly.
  • Have a working knowledge of wiki coding, or the ability to pick said working knowledge up extremely rapidly. Familiarity with the site Library is preferable.
  • Ability to stay on task and commit the necessary time each month to see each TVT issue through to publication. It will fall to you to adhere to that timeliness as the sole publisher of the TVT.



How to Apply
Send an email to marketing@tarvalon.net, editor@tarvalon.net, and keeper@tarvalon.net with the subject set as "APPLICATION - JOBTITLE - YOURNAMEHERE," detailing why you are qualified to be the Assistant Editor of the Tar Valon Times. (Optional: Please include two writing samples. In addition, include two examples of possible content for future editions of the TVT.) We will be accepting applications through March 15th, 2016.

Regarding the samples: Any two samples which show a proficient command of the English language in a writing situation may be submitted. It may be an excerpt or a full article/paper, an essay you've written for school, or other projects you have worked on.

The writing sample may be attached to the email as a .doc, .txt or .pdf file, uploaded online with link provided, or just copied and pasted into the email at the bottom.

Best of luck to all of the applicants!
