Global Voices Seeks Managing Editor 

The fabulous Global Voices Online is looking for a Managing Editor, a position they expect to fill in early 2006. The job description reads thus:
Our ideal candidate has solid experience in blogging and online citizens’ media and at least some experience with professional news media. He or she has the ability to work independently and responsibly with only remote supervision. Solid English-language writing and editing skills are a must. Programming/HTML knowledge not required but strong familiarity with the use of online social media tools (blogging platforms, aggregators, use of RSS feeds, and tagging) is important. He or she must be a diplomatic team player, capable of communicating effectively with bloggers as well as news reporters and editors, who enjoys pioneering uncharted territory. Ideally he/she will have the ability to read and write well in at least one language other than English and working knowledge of other languages.

If you're a blogger or a journalist (who understands technology) looking for something really new and exciting to do, give this some serious serious consideration. I think it's a fabulous opportunity.
