With the relaunch of their site, CityBuzz is looking add bloggers into their site:
CityBuzz.com is re-launching their website and looking for bloggers in each of its cities to give information on the upscale, cool places for restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, shopping, and sightseeing. We are looking for people who can write 10 posts per month, covering at least one post in each topic. As we are a small team with many cities, we need writers who have a discerning eye and require little to no editing. The bloggers need to write in a professional manner with a hint of personality. The target audience is sophisticated yet trendy 25-55 year olds so the writing style and topic selection needs to reflect the demographic. CityBuzz is positioning itself as providing “insider” information so we would prefer people who could be classified as an insider, like an editor at a magazine or people already have a popular culture blog.
This will be a paid, ongoing position.
HOW TO APPLY
Please send resumes with a sample blog post and cover letter embedded into the e-mail to producers@vidicom.com with “Blogger Position” in the subject line.
