Bristol24/7 is made by a small team that really care about Bristol. We have worked hard to become the South West’s leading independent media publication – with half a million readers every month and a growing community – and are looking for someone to join us who knows how to sniff out a story and can meet our high editorial standards while working to tight deadlines.
Our Editorial Assistant will research and write features for our website and monthly print magazine; and will also write copy for our daily email newsletter, social media channels, and support the wider Bristol24/7 team to run the new Bristol24/7 Presents… series of events. They will also be required to produce commercial content including business member news and sponsored features.
