Please excuse the brief interruption to our regularly scheduled programming: DCist is looking to hire a new weekend editor. This is a paid, part-time freelance position.

The qualified editor will be able to work from home. Responsibilities include writing a moderate volume of posts on both Saturdays and Sundays, monitoring for breaking stories, and some occasional editing of posts written by others. You must also be comfortable reporting: calling sources, interviewing people, and so forth. We’re looking for someone familiar with blogging/reporting in the District who has a deep and abiding interest in Washington, as well as the flexibility to create several well written posts over the course of each weekend about a variety of topics.

If you’re interested, send a brief email with a summary of your experience and relevant links to tips [at] dcist [dot] com, subject “Weekend Editor.”
