Dear Friends,
Transitions Online -- a new publication to be launched in June -- will
continue the legacy of its predecessor Transitions which closed in March.
We plan to expand the site -- 300,000 hits a month and growing -- into the
most prominent and extensive online source of information on the Balkans,
Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union.
Readers of Transitions depended on the magazine for balanced coverage of
issues, offering crucial local perspective on issues that were often
under-reported by Western publications. Transitions Online promises to be
the most prestigious and most frequently visited site on the region.
Reliable, motivated journalists are crucial to our project's success. To
keep our coverage up-to-date and relevant, we are seeking responsible
journalists from the region who are seeking international exposure. The
duties of the stringers -- one in each of the 27 countries -- will be:
* to work closely with editors regarding the events in their home
country, suggesting story and feature ideas
* to contribute news bites for our weekly news service
* to monitor media in their region
* to occasionally write full-length stories and to suggest and
contact local journalists to whom such articles could be commissioned
* to contact local photographers and artists to provide visual
accompaniment to stories
We are looking for dynamic, experienced and motivated journalists who can
provide interesting local angles on wider regional trends with a thorough
knowledge of their home country. The candidate must have excellent English
skills and sound news judgment, and should be easily contactable --
preferably by e-mail -- on a daily basis. Salary and weekly commitments
will be discussed at a later date.
If you are interested in becoming a Transitions Online stringer, please
send a resume (to jobs@ijt.cz) and brief letter telling us how you think
you could benefit Transitions Online; plus a story idea from an issue
affecting your region, which you feel has been under-reported in the
international press.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Luke Allnutt
Assistant Editor
