CHI JOB OPP - Web/Video Manager & Art/Writing Editor for Magazine

WANTED: Web/Video Manager & Art/Writing Editor for New Magazine in Chicago!

I am a college student who is starting up a magazine in Chicago and is interested in finding motivated young people like myself for my staff. My publication, Upsurge, will be an art magazine that encompasses music, fashion, poetry, and culture. I hope to use my magazine to help young artists further connect with the world of art through career-enhancing opportunities.

Tech/Video Manager: I would like assistance in creating a website for the magazine and need an individual current on the latest trends in technology. This person should be proficient in Adobe Dreamweaver, a video editing software, and in the use of GoDaddy.com and have access to the resources. Also, this person should have knowledge using a digital video camera. If you have your own equipment, even better! This manager is responsible for maintaining the site, uploading media, editing media, and filming interviews or events.

Art & Writing Editor: This editor is responsible for the entire content of both the art section and writing section of the magazine. This position involves managing art and writing submissions as well as content topics. This editor will assign articles for the section and should be a person with a deep passion for art and an appreciation for new artists.

All individuals should be able to easily take direction and carry out assignments and responsibilities independently, with frequent contact with myself and possibly other staff members. All individuals must have constant access to phone and email. Please email me if you are seriously interested in being involved in this creative and rare venture! alicia.plomin@loop.colum.edu
