A Reshuffle for a New Age

It's ...not going great. The news is extremely heavy for anyone who already has to deal with oppressive circumstances, and most media is still trying to spin things the way of the government and corporations (when not giving into fabricated panic about COVID-19, milking the US election circus, or talking about unnecessary offspring).
Meanwhile, serious threats to marginalised communities continue and increase their intensity - at home and abroad - from the nationalistic violence of India to the colonial corporation of Canada, via the rampant transphobia in US and UK, and the escalating anti-migrant and anti-Roma action in Greece, Hungary, and other European countries. Not forgetting the visible impact of the climate crisis in Antarctica and the African continent, with diseases and swarms spreading wildly and out of control.
To combat this rise in misinformation, lies, blindspots and corporate spin of mainstream media, we are once again recruiting new regular contributors for all of our sections: Inter|National, Arts, Community, Student, or Perspectives.
We are looking for pieces that can show important stories in a radical new light, or bring issues marginalised by mainstream media to the fore, with a specific focus on the themes and topics that the applicants’ chosen section specialises in.
Applicants will commit to writing an article of 600-1000 words in their section on a monthly or fortnightly basis.
We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds. Applicants do not have to be based in Norwich, or in the UK.
You can find thee full brief at our recruitment page here. Please return your statement, written work sample and equal opportunities monitoring form by midnight on 30th April 2020. If you have any queries, drop us an email to the above address.
We can make the media landscape accountable, we can make it better, and we can bring actual information to everyone. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
In solidarity,The Norwich Radical Editorial Team
