Hi all:
Been a long time since I've posted on here ...
We're looking for a part-time news editor to join our desk in Culver City, Calif. I need someone who's willing to work nights and weekends since we're a 24-7 news operation. Obviously, I'd prefer an NFL fan with copy-editing chops and the drive to keep NFL.com a legitimate news site. We have a solid crew now, and web experience is only preferred, not mandatory. We can train the right candidate -- and have in the past.
I can answer any questions via PM or email ([email protected]). I'm hoping to have someone by the end of the month, so if you're interested, apply quickly.
Thanks,
Justin Hathaway
