  • This will include fact checking, formatting, linking and image sourcing/very basic editing (sizing, brightness, etc.)
• Pitch story ideas when none are readily available
  • Exploring relevant news and social media feeds, including Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok and more, and tuning in to popular podcasts, streams and YouTube shows to enhance coverage.
• Accept and apply any/all feedback received by the editorial team
