News writer [Not hiring]

Notebookcheck news writers scout the Web for topics of interest daily and occasionally receive press releases from electronics makers to cover in short articles.

Be prepared to follow strict guidelines that other team members follow. Be prepared to learn the basics of using the Typo3 CMS since this is what Notebookcheck is powered by. To apply, please use the form found near the bottom of the page.

Prerequisites:

• Very good English skills. No typos, no vague sentences that can be interpreted in more ways than one.
• Applicants with prior experience doing professional journalism get preferential treatment.

• You have to commit to writing 4 articles a week or more.
• Reliability. You have to be reachable via Discord or e-mail, every day.
• Original content only. No directly copying parts of articles found on rival websites. No relying on AI to do most of the heavy lifting.
