Want this gig?

Since I have lots of subscribers who are freelance writers with music expertise, I thought I’d share this now-viral job post that many of you are overqualified for: a Taylor Swift Reporter at The Tennessean, a daily newspaper in Nashville.
Candidates who are “video forward” are preferred: “We are looking for an energetic writer, photographer and social media pro who can quench an undeniable thirst for all things Taylor Swift with a steady stream of content across multiple platforms. Seeing both the facts and the fury, the Taylor Swift reporter will identify why the pop star’s influence only expands, what her fanbase stands for in pop culture, and the effect she has across the music and business worlds.” They also want a journalist who doesn’t have a Swift bias.
The position is open to remote workers (or you can work out of the McLean, VA office) and the hourly rate range is $21.63-$50.87. A video cover letter is part of the application requirements, and the applicant must be able to legally travel internationally.
