mxdwn is an online music and entertainment magazine with news, reviews and features about the latest and best in modern entertainment.
Job DescriptionIf you are a thoughtful, analytical writer with impeccable grammar, a passion for movies, and an ability to hit consistent deadlines we want you. Writers will be responsible tracking, researching, and writing informative, personable news stories that not only give "just the facts," but promote thoughtful discussion among an audience of film lovers. You must be able to communicate not only what's happening, but why it matters to the moviegoer and how it fits into the landscape of the film industry at large. A huge part of this job is framing the conversation surrounding the news you're covering.
We are a growing company with room for talented and driven writers to rise quickly. Please note that the position is UNPAID. This is an opportunity to be an integral part of a passionate team that loves talking about movies, but we are not able to offer compensation outside of some press access. This is not a full time position, but will require a regular time commitment of at least 3-6 hours per week. As mentioned above, content delivery on regular deadlines will be expected. All work is done remotely/from home, although there are opportunities to attend press events for those in Los Angeles and New York.
