| Aspect | Contract Political Writer | Contract Journalist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Writing experience, political knowledge, possibly journalism or communications background | Journalism degree or experience, strong writing skills, media familiarity |
| Work Environment | Political campaigns, advocacy groups, government agencies | News outlets, media organizations, online publications |
| Industry Usage | Used for creating political content, speeches, policy analysis | Used for reporting news, feature stories, investigative journalism |
Contract Political Writers focus on creating political content for campaigns or advocacy, often with a background in politics or communications. Contract Journalists produce news stories and reports for media outlets. While both roles require strong writing skills, Contract Political Writers are more specialized in political topics, whereas Contract Journalists cover a broader range of news subjects.

Posted 15 days ago
YOUR ROLE: The News Writer is responsible for writing timely, compelling, and well-researched stories on legislation, elections, and policy issues impacting Catholics in public life. Stories may also include religion and Church news. In addition to daily reporting, this role includes the critical duty of formatting and sending The LOOP, CatholicVoteโs flagship daily newsletter, ensuring it is delivered with accuracy, clarity, and punctuality. You will work closely with the editor-in-chief and political editor to maintain high journalistic standards and a distinctly Catholic voice in all content. This position is fully remote, but candidates should be located in the Western U.S., Alaska, or Hawaii in order to provide evening coverage once our East Coast staff has signed off.
WHO WE ARE: CatholicVote is a lay movement of committed Catholics who are passionate about living out the truths proclaimed by Christ and His Church in the modern world. We are joined by many individuals of other faith traditions because the common good we seek is universal to all men and women of goodwill.
Our mission is to inspire every Catholic in America to live out the truths of our faith in public life. Our vision is to be the most recognized and respected voice for Catholicism in American public life and in so doing bring about a renewal of the culture of our land.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:In addition to the above, the ideal candidate will have the following:
Our Mission is too important to limit your contributions. We are a team committed to a higher calling. As a CatholicVote employee, you will be expected to answer that call by performing various duties that may be required in order to fulfill the mission we have set out to accomplish.
Please note: CatholicVote reserves the right to revise this job description at any time. This job description is not a contract for employment. Continued employment remains on an โat-willโ basis.
