~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

POSITION: Editor-in-Chief
EXPERIENCE: 2 years editorial experience
JOB DESCRIPTION: The Sofia Independent is the first and only professional
English-language newspaper in Bulgaria, ten months old and growing.
Political and economic chaos make now a bad time to be a Bulgarian, but a
good time to be a foreign journalist in Bulgaria, where the stories are
everywhere, the foreign journalists few and improvement inevitable. We are
looking for a leader who can hit the ground running and be comfortable
managing and planning a weekly newspaper, training and coordinating
journalists and interns, challenging a power structure and possessing the
will, energy and creativity to kick a dent in the history of journalism in
a livable, yet at times obstinate country, trying to overcome a difficult
past. The material organization of the newspaper is still rough, but the
multi-national staff share a clear and strong idea of its purpose. Local
wages. Stock options after a two year commitment. Please submit cover
letter with statement of your editorial philosophy and its applicability in
Bulgaria.
