Role Description

Copper Courier’s political correspondent is responsible for producing state or local media products (newsletters, video series/streams, podcasts, etc.) that they manage and own through which they will personally build trust with a specific audience.

  • Produce a regular cadence of coverage for your product(s) that are engaging and help build an audience.
  • Generate multi-platform content for your product in order to maximize its reach (i.e., create Instagram carousels for a newsletter, or if you do a podcast, ensure it’s on video too).

  • Regularly brainstorm and pitch story and content ideas that align to your products.
  • Break news through your products.
  • Work with political editorial leadership to ensure highest-quality reporting and product content is created.
  • In conjunction with political editorial leadership and HQ/state-based staff, develop and execute strategies for how to help grow and ultimately monetize your product.
  • Meet monthly, quarterly, and annual goals and content metrics.
  • Experiment with new platforms and formats to further improve our content’s reach.
  • Work to build a personal brand through social platforms.
  • Build connections with political and community leaders/staff in Arizona.
  • Ensure all political content (newsletters, videos, graphics, etc.) are curated and branded consistently.

Qualifications

  • Desire to be a part of a new media model that meets people where they are – most often on social platforms.
  • Desire to grow (or already have) an audience as a political content creator.
  • Experience using Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms.
  • Able to produce compelling social media posts that deliver key information to our audience in five seconds or less.
  • Comfortable in front of a camera.
  • Familiarity with tools like Canva, Capcut, Descript, etc., to support social content production.
  • Bilingual in English and Spanish.
  • Grasp of AP Style.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a strong sense of voice and tone.
  • Experience with or a willingness to learn WordPress.
  • Experience with or a willingness to learn Sprout and/or Creator Studio for social media publishing.
  • Able to pivot/switch direction as priorities and projects change.
  • Comfortable in a startup environment.
