At Courier Newsroom, we empower individuals and communities through local reporting that helps people understand and affect the issues impacting their lives. We believe that by investing in the work of local journalists across the country we can positively impact civic participation and build a healthier democracy from the ground up.

The engagement covers visual storytelling, short-form video (Reels/TikToks), high-performing social graphics, brand-aligned copywriting, and channel publishing strategy. Consultant will determine the methods, tools, schedule, and location used to perform the services.

  • Non-Exclusivity: Consultant is free to provide services to other clients during the engagement.

CONSULTANT QUALIFICATIONS

  • Senior Hybrid Skillset (7+ Years Experience): Demonstrated track record spanning short-form video production, graphic design, social publishing, and editorial copywriting for a mission-driven brand, media outlet, or agency.
  • Full-Stack Execution & Independence: Proven ability to work autonomously by managing a project from initial concept and scripting to final video editing, graphic layout, and social posting without relying on a support team.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
