Requirements
– Must be proficient with WordPress
– Strong command of the English language; the American dialect and spelling is a plus

– Two news/culture posts per business day of the week. Usually pieces are around 300 words each

How to Apply
Skip the resume and send a mind-blowingly awesome cover letter citing all the best stuff that you’ve done in one shot along with three writing samples that demonstrate that you can do the type of work that we’re looking for to chrisgampat@thephoblographer.com.
Be sure to make the subject line say your name and News/Culture Writer Position. Example would be: Chris Gampat: News/Culture Writer Position.
After your application is received, it will be reviewed by me. Good luck to all applicants.
La Noir Image: Editorial Director
The Phoblographer LLC is looking for an Editorial Director for La Noir Image; our premium black and white photography website. The ideal candidate will be based in Europe or Asia (Russia and India is what we’re mostly going for), be able to manage a staff, be aware of copyright laws, edit posts, produce posts, and develop ideas with the staff.
