WHO you are: A writer who’s hungry for news, eager to challenge the city you live in, with some published clips under your belt (college, etc.) who's ready to hit the ground running

WHAT are you great at: Research, combing public records, asking the right questions, writing across multiple platforms (but especially love long form), putting a face on social issues and occasionally being snarky

WHERE do you live: Charlotte or nearby. Or you at least know the city pretty well

WHEN should you send your cover letter, resume and three samples of writing: As soon as possible

WHY do you want this job: Because you want to impact the community with your writing. Oh, and you love Creative Loafing
