The editorial team is taking a short break over the summer but we’ll be back in September and we’d love you to join us.
With August almost upon us, accompanied by the traditional English rain clouds, the HI HUB editorial team are taking a short break to recharge their batteries and enjoy their staycations.
Keep an eye on your weekly newsletter for jobs, events, property and planning applications though as these will continue to run through the summer, with news and features returning on 2nd September.
When we come back, would you like to join us?
To boost HI HUB’s content from September, we’re looking to expand our editorial team. Could you be interested? There are two opportunities.
You may have spotted among the job listings last week that HI HUB is looking for a trained Community Journalist on a freelance basis, to take a high profile role in writing and editing material for publication as HI HUB prepares to extend its output and reach. If you’re experienced at writing news and features for publication, it could be an opportunity for you to earn a small fee while using your skills for the benefit of your own community. We particularly welcome applications from people who know the village and would love to use their training to help connect people from their own neighbourhood.
Alternatively, you may have – even in the dim and distant past – had a secret desire to be a journalist, or simply to research and write articles for publication. We would love to hear from you. As a member of the volunteer contributor team (we’re all volunteers right now) you would simply work with more experienced writers and editors to create articles that keep local residents in the know about what’s going on, and the opportunities available to them. Don’t worry if you’re not an experienced writer – all we need is a desire to find out what’s happening and the enthusiasm to have a go. Others are available to help with style, grammar and everything techie – if you need them.
Get involved
HI HUB has exciting plans for the future and we’d love you to be part of them. We’ll hold a get-together for the editorial team in September, and we’re trying to organise some training. It would be great if you could join us.
If you want to talk through anything about the volunteer or Community Journalist roles, just drop a line to news@hihub.info and we’ll get back to you.
Have a great summer and see you in September.
