Show Segment Writer

Louder with Crowder is looking for a show segment writer who can add and format stories for the daily show map. You should be a news junkie, work quickly, are super organized in how you write and present information, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the conservative view point.

We're looking for applicants who are happy to work in the wee morning hours for our morning show and on the weekends. This is not a typical 9-5 job. If you're looking for a gig that is more normal hours, this position probably isn't for you.

Your attitude should be upbeat, eager, and ready to go. You take criticism well and won't melt down if your story isn't chosen for the final show map, but you will work hard to make sure future stories are up to show quality.

Start the subject line of your application email with "Show Me the News!"

Prove your ability:

We're looking for applicants who already know how to present a story for a show, and clearly understand conservative principles. For the following test, we need you to write a show map. Show maps are used for the daily show every single day we have a show. Our segment writers can create these maps in short order. Meaning if this task takes you days to complete, this job isn't for you. Brush up on your news gathering and writing skills and apply later.

Competitive candidates will create a show map from nothing in hours. We're not exaggerating to scare you off, here. This is a fast paced working environment and we want to make sure every single person on the team is happy and successful in their positions.

Preference is obviously given to candidates who have previous show writing experience.

Here's a link to a doc with the guidelines we follow for structuring arguments and formatting the show map: Show Map Formatting and Rules.

Here's an example of a show map from February 18th, which was used for this episode on YouTube. Mimic the exact formatting we use! But what we're really testing for here is can you:

• identify the most important, breaking, trending story of the day (NOT OLD NEWS. NOT RECYCLED NEWS. NOT THINK PIECES. CURRENT NEWS!)
• form a cogent and concise argument from the conservative viewpoint (do not just restate what we already know!)
• present your story/segment in a way that is informative for the audience who doesn't have time to be a news junkie.

Requirements:

• 3-5 years writing experience is a MUST! Major preference is given to candidates who've written professionally.
• 3-5 years working experience is desired.
• Have an active Twitter account? List it in your resume. Make sure it's public!
• Email us a shareable link of your Google Doc along with your resume and cover letter. Failure to include a Google Doc link to the show map will result in your elimination for this job.
• Be organized. Insanely organized.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, including a solid understanding of spelling and grammar. If you misspell something in your show map test... your application will be deleted.
• Able to work independently within a fast, dynamic, complex, collaborative environment.
• Willing to work early in the morning and weekends.
• Willing and able to work under tight deadline pressures.
• Work well with a team.
