The position is broken into a series of time-slots, and you will be required to cover 3-4 six-hour shifts a week, depending on what is available and fits your schedule. The ideal candidate will possess the timeliness and dependability to get instructed breaking news articles published within 15-20 minutes.

This position offers candidates the opportunity to improve their writing and reporting skills, as well as the opportunity to work under pressure. This position is unpaid.
If you think you're the right fit for our needs, apply today!
*This is an unpaid, part-time, remote position - you do NOT need to be located in Los Angeles*

Ability to be available during your designated shifts. Reliable internet access on shifts required, should have your own computer.
