Looking for for The Rural Post!
Dear Connections,
Greetings,
Hope this message finds you and your family safe and healthy. The Rural Post was incepted from the collaboration and networking efforts by alumni of IRMA in April, 2020. The Rural Post has turned 1.5 years old and is looking forward for an experienced person to lead the initiative. The present team of volunteers at TRP has 12 members who are development professional and students. The growth, outreach and relevance of the initiative has made me write the post.
We are looking for an experienced/interested individual who would like to lead the initiative and serve as the Editor-in-chief of The Rural Post. The position though voluntary, encompasses a wider outreach and capability to influence rural journalism, policy and development space.
Major Activities involved are as follows:
1. Weekly follow-up with the teams on various marketing and publication activities
2. Strategizing future activities and onboarding relevant/interested volunteers in the team
3. Managing and introducing programmes like Young Rural Journalism Program and Collaboration for Change Program.
The position requires less than 6-8 hours per week and can be managed remotely. Since, it is a not-for-profit voluntary initiative, there is no remuneration for the same.
You can find more about the The Rural Post here: www.theruralpost.org
Kindly note: we are primarily looking for someone from IRMA Alumni Community, however, we are also wiling to consider Non-IRMAn candidates who are working in journalism/rural journalism/rural development/public policy and allied domains.
