Are you a Twitter-savvy writer who’s fully engaged in politics and pop culture? Do you follow a vast array of journos, activists, politicos and celebs? Then we want you on our editorial team.

The ideal Twitchy editor will write clean copy on a tight deadline, know how to push back against false media narratives and have impeccable judgment, outstanding fact-checking skills and a strong ability to multitask.

As a human-powered Twitter aggregator, Twitchy’s objective is to curate “who said what” on Twitter.

Our new editor will:

• continuously monitor Twitter and identify newsworthy content,
• write posts and publish them to the site,
• manage placement of stories on Twitchy.com, and
• communicate with fellow editors to coordinate coverage.

Requirements:

• wide range of knowledge of politics and pop culture,
• the ability to fully immerse yourself in Twitter and other social media,
• ability to write clean copy and compelling headlines,
• strong understanding of Twitchy’s mission and the news judgment to identify stories that matter to Twitchy’s audience, and
• the ability to work quickly, independently and creatively in a fast-paced environment.

Copy-editing or proofreading experience is a big plus.

This is a full-time telecommuting position and will require evening, night and weekend hours.

To apply, send a resume and cover letter telling us why you should get the job to jobs@twitchy.com.
