News Blogging Position

Do you have experience as a journalist? Are you a strong writer with experience in news-style writing or blogging? If so, you could be a perfect fit for our News Blogging team.

We write and publish news-style stories on a daily basis for our clients across the country. We cover car, truck, and other motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, and other incidents for our personal injury clients. We publish news articles about crimes and arrests for our criminal defense clients. We blog about nursing home abuse, domestic legal matters, and timely topics like COVID-19 for law firms both large and small.

If you are an avid reader, a strong researcher, and a skilled blogger, we might have a spot on our team for you. Take our test below to find out if you make the cut.

This position requires:

Research Skills: We need to look beyond just what Google News delivers when searching for stories. It is vital that writers be able to comb traffic blotters, police blotters, local and smaller news publications, government sites, and relevant Twitter feeds to find quality stories to publish.

Strategy: Understanding what types of stories will result in cases for our clients is key. Not all stories are equal, and we need to consider what we publish.

Writing: News-style writing has its own tone and format. We need writers who understand this specific style and can deliver pieces with just the facts, and no fluff.

This position is not:

For creative writers: These are fact-based news stories, and there’s no room for embellishment.

For those who’ve never published pieces to the web: We are publishing these pieces directly to the web through WordPress or similar platforms. If you’re not comfortable with digital publishing, this likely isn’t the right spot for you.

The keys to success are keeping it simple, easy-to-read, and straightforward while emotionally connecting with the audience. We want you to give us the five Ws: who, what, where, when, and why. Please make sure all work is 100% original; plagiarism is the cardinal sin of copywriting.
