WANTED: MEDIA MENTOR FOR LIVE MAG SA’S NEW JOHANNESBURG HUB
Live Magazine SA is opening its first satellite office in Johannesburg in Feb/Mar 2013, and is looking for a content-creation mentor to work with a brand new team of contributors in Braamfontein.
Launched in 2011, Live Magazine SA is a youth lifestyle magazine that is 100% created by 16-25 year olds from South Africa. With a main production office in Cape Town, the magazine itself is distributed all over the country, and amplified by its online channels – via mobi, YouTube and social networks.
We need a part-time media mentor who can oversee every type of content being created across Live SA’s platforms by young contributors from a new office hub in Braamfontein. This hub will engage with aspiring content creators who will produce magazine, mobile and YouTube content, with a particular focus on arts and culture.
Candidates should be all-rounders who are well versed in producing content for multiple platforms, with a superb knowledge of social media, writing for web, print and ideally basic video capture and editing.
This is a role for a facilitator – mentors don’t produce content themselves – who can oversee patiently and constructively, with a passion for seeing young creative people excel and progress.
Good networks, a positive attitude and a keen interest and knowledge of the arts and culture scene would be a massive benefit.
Flexible commitment (3 days per week) would suit a freelancer, and there may be some evenings required.
Please apply with a CV and covering note to by December 17th.
