*** CALL FOR ONLINE EDITORS ***
The East European magazine PLOTKI is looking for new online editors from East European countries. The aim is to enlarge the existing international editorial board of the PLOTKI online news, the "monthly updated rumours".
PLOTKI editors contribute to the magazine by organizing and editing their own issues and putting them online.
PLOTKI WEBSITE: www.plotki.net
APPLICATIONS: application@ plotki.net
DEADLINE: 01.04.2008, please read details below.
PLOTKI is a magazine, an open platform, a network of over 100 authors, photographers and graphic designers from Eastern Europe. On our website we publish new online issues on a monthly basis. The online magazine is put together by an international editorial board, made up of young people from Central- and East European countries.
In May 2008, the editorial board will have its next team meeting in the Czech Republic. We would like to use this opportunity to invite interested people to become online editors of PLOTKI and to actively take part in the PLOTKI project. Transport, accommodation and food costs will be covered.
The responsibility of the online editors will be to create around two PLOTKI online issues a year (finding a topic, collecting contributions, editing). As an online editor you will have all the journalistic freedom you want and will get all the support you need from the PLOTKI community. As well as editing issues, the work for the next year will also include regular contributions and small admin responsibilities.
The aim of the seminar in the Czech Republic is to review the past online issues and to introduce participants to website management and other needed skills to edit the online-magazine.
Participants are asked to prepare one article and/or photos or illustrations or other publishable media on the topic: SOLIDARITY
PLOTKI is a non-commercial project. All PLOTKI authors, photographers and graphic designers are volunteers, who dedicated themselves to reporting from and about Central and Eastern Europe in an unconventional way. Currently we are not able to pay anybody, but we are always able to cover all seminar costs and production expenses.
