Up-and-coming news and culture website NOLA Defender
(www.noladefender.com) is seeking to add 31st century journalists,
armchair arts & food critics, the human-interested, alt sports
fanatics, and anyone seeking a never-before-tried assignment to our
stable of scribes. As we grow the scope of our hyperlocal content, we
look to expand our original article offerings and continue to fatten
the modern media beast.

For writers seeking clips or exposure to the sausage-making that is
producing an article for publication, the NOLA Defender represents a
chance to work under experienced writers who are receptive to new,
creative, and madcap ways of approaching storytelling in the
news/culture realm. This is a chance to develop those mystical writing
intangibles so tough to learn in ye old ball and chain called
academia– voice, effective interviewing, a chip on your shoulder, even
how to make a mistake gracefully. While some of us subscribe to the
plight of the world-weary, we're receptive to all story ideas and the
full zenith of writing tones. We also have deadlines.

If uncomfortable with writing full-length articles, we are also
seeking bloggers to contribute 2-4 compact, snarky blog posts per day
about media events that strike our sniveling fancy. Again, creativity
and offbeat ideas are encouraged.

Compensation includes but is not limited to: weekly free drinks (editorial meetings 'pay') and free passes/perks for events we cover.
Exposure and experience remain our chosen seasonings to sweeten the
pot.

If interested, please make haste in replying to this ad: info@noladefender.com.
