QWOC Media Wire Seeks New Editors!

[pullquote3 quotes=”true” align=”center” variation=”purple” textColor=”#00000″]This call is open to all regardless of geography, but we also want to strongly encourage non-US candidates to apply. [/pullquote3]

Who We Are

Currently, we are: latina, African, mixed-race, femme, masculine of center, gender neutral, east coaster, west coasters, trans-nationals, professionals, scholars, activists. There’s still a lot that can be added to that.

Who We’re Looking For

We are actively searching for editors who don’t look like us–who share enough of our experiences as qpoc with multi-identities, but contributes a new lens to our collective vision. We aren’t looking for people to be marginally involved to deflect criticism; we are seeking people to be fully vested editorial partners, who are willing to volunteer time and energy alongside us to 1) recruit writers, 2) edit submissions, 3) moderate comments, 4) manage the space, and 5) grow QWOC Media Wire from a startup to a sustainable social enterprise.

This is a Volunteer Position

This will be a volunteer position. QWOC Media Wire is a labor of love. The funds for this site come out of our pockets. Therefore, we cannot provide any compensation for editors at this time. We do guarantee, however, that you’ll continually learn (we all do), you’ll be supported as an individual with their own career path, and your contribution to this project will be celebrated and honored. Lastly, but most importantly, as we recognize that this is a volunteer project (and we all have commitments outside of it), you’ll be part of a team that holds you accountable to your commitments, but also practices community care and support when critical.

Strategic Growth and Planning (Hopefully With You On Board)

Part of our strategy to become a full-fledged, sustainable media advocacy organization includes the recruitment and development of a team that is grounded in our principles and committed to our mission, before implementing a growth strategy plan for this social enterprise in 2014.

Our team currently comprises a serial social entrepreneur and digital media expert, an organizationl development consultant, and a scholar interested in exploring the way intersectionality is reported or consumed by the media. We look forward to adding more core strengths and expertise to our team! What would you bring? We hope to find out through your application. f you’re interested in being part of something exciting, intentionally innovative, strategic, and collaborative–while working within a fun, affirming, and very smart team–we strongly encourage you to apply.

We strongly encourage you to use our ONLINE SUBMISSION FORM.  However, if you are applying from outside the US and/or unable to use the online submission system, please email us directly at team@qwocmediawire.com for a downloadable submission form.

Note: We will be interviewing until we find the right people. But this particular call for applications will close on May 20th, 2013 (with a possible earlier start date, schedules permitting).
