Do you like writing about music and keeping up with the latest news in the industry? Do you have the ability and availability to produce music news content quickly and accurately when called upon? Look no further, because mxdwn is seeking applicants for positions for breaking news music writers.

The two time slots available for this position will be 9AM PST – 3PM PST and 3PM PST – 9PM PST, with every day of the week accounted for. Each Breaking News Writer will take 4-5 shifts per week, depending on what is available and fits your schedule. The ideal candidate will possess the timeliness and dependability to get instructed breaking news articles published within 15-20 minutes. Essentially, the candidate is “on-call” to produce content during their shift.
