Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
English Language Media, the publisher of The Connexion newspaper for English-speakers in France, is looking for an experienced online journalist to help grow our digital presence through the web (www.connexionfrance.com), email marketing, social media and more.
This is a five-days-a-week, part-time freelance (around 4 hours each morning) role that would suit a remote worker. We are looking for a native English-speaker. Excellent knowledge of French and an understanding of France is essential - and experience living in France would be highly advantageous.
You must be passionate about online, have experience with web publishing and knowledge of a broad range of online tools.
The job involves:
Newsgathering and writing: Monitoring all the major French news outlets, specialist sites and expat blogs using RSS, selecting stories that affect our readers and writing them in clear, search-friendly English, adding context, practical information and related links. Checking site performance in Google Analytics.
Community management: Engaging with readers on Facebook and Twitter, encouraging debate around stories and other issues, responding to online reader queries. Helping to promote the print newspaper's activities online (when a new issue is published, for example).
Email marketing: Writing, compiling and sending our weekly email to 23,000 subscribers. Maintaining our email marketing database in MailChimp. Monitoring each campaign's performance, most-clicked links etc. Managing all replies from readers - publishing relevant comments and handling any queries. Building and sending occasional targeted email marketing campaigns (for example: to lapsed subscribers or new prospects).
Print-digital transition: Setting aside part of each month to ensure that our print newspaper articles are uploaded to the site with web-friendly headlines, captions and categories.
Other side projects: Handling comments from readers on our dedicated Moving to France site (www.moving-france.com), forwarding queries to experts and publishing their replies.
We are keen to improve and grow our digital offering - and your input and expertise will be very welcome.
