Global Voices Seeking English-language Subeditors

Status: Open

Global Voices (GV) is seeking to hire subeditors who will be responsible for editing stories written in or translated into English by our contributors.

GV stories focus on topics such as internet culture, freedom of speech online, technology and digital rights, human rights, civics and political movements, diversity and representation, and language diversity.

  • Participating in weekly virtual editorial meetings
  • Working in accordance with Global Voices community and editorial guidelines, mission, and culture

Successful candidates for the positions will:

  • Be native English speakers or have high professional fluency in English
  • Have proven editing skills and experience editing news in English
  • Be able to edit sensitively for a global audience
