Assistant Site Editor

Wrestling Inc. is currently looking for an assistant site editor who would be responsible for making sure that content is being consistently published as well as produce quality content with 3-5 years experience working for major outlets. The ideal candidate would also help manage the site's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other video accounts, and work to help them grow. Also, the assistant site editor will manage, train and recruit contributors to the site and work with them, as well as communicate with management to create site expectations, goals and progress. Experience with Photoshop, SEO, audio/video editing and podcasting are all a big plus. This is a part-time paid position that could become full-time.

Feature Writers

We are looking for news writers who are able to write clearly and quickly, while maintaining attention to detail. The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years of experience covering pro wrestling for major outlets, with the ability to write on a variety of topics from short news blurbs to detailed articles. The ideal candidate will be able to pitch ideas for original content as well as finding unique and interesting angles of a story. They will also have original reporting skills, i.e. experience obtaining police reports, conducting interviews, calling in to conference calls, and establishing sources. The writer should also know how to mine social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter for topical coverage, as well as be up to date on the latest news.

If you're interested, please send samples and links to some of your better social media posts that you have made.

Moderators

We are looking for volunteers to be moderators for the "Comments" section. This is a non-paid position. Current high-rep members preferred. If you are interested, please send your Disqus username when contacting us. Inquiries without an active Disqus username will not be considered.

Media Producer

We are looking for media producers who have experience producing podcasts and videos. This would involve working with our existing audio and video content, as well as creating short videos when a major story breaks for our YouTube and other video channels, like the one above. Interested candidates must have prior podcasting experience, strong collaborative skills, as well as the ability to work on a variety of topics from editing interviews and audio clips to video features with voiceovers. If interested, please include samples of your work. Inquiries without samples will not be considered.

For all of these positions, we are also looking for these qualifications:

* You are an effective communicator.
* You enjoy working both independently and as part of a team.
* You are not shy about providing feeback to the site managers and enjoy thinking about and pitching new ideas.
