You

• You
pick
up
the
voice
of
a
new
publication
quickly
and
easily.
• You
don’t
just
have
a
strong
command
of
AP
style:
You
could
practically
rewrite
the
current
edition
from
memory.
• You
have
eyes
sharper
than
an
eagle’s
when
it
comes
to
catching
grammatical
errors.
• You’ve
woken
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
wondering
if
you
made
a
factual
error
on
a
story,
checked
it
and
gone
back
to
bed
happy
that
you
were
right
all
along.
• You’re
organized,
turn
in
assignments
ahead
of
time
and
thrive
under
deadline
pressure.
• Your
attention
to
detail
borders
OCD,
and
you’ve
mastered
the
art
of
multitasking.
• You
work
well
in
a
collaborative
environment
and
always
have
ideas
to
share.
• Not
required,
but

basic
HTML
skills
and
have
posted
material
online
using
a
content
management
system.
To
apply,
send
your
résumé,
cover
letter
and
two
writing
samples
to
