We’re Looking for People Who Live in Nishinomiya
This writer recruitment is limited to people who live in Nishinomiya.
There are three reasons.
- You know a lot about the area where you live
- Just by living there, local information naturally comes your way
- Because it’s Nishinomiya, a place you care about, you’ll put your heart into it (and write sincerely too)
We’re sorry, but people living outside the city are not eligible.
What Kind of Work Is It?
Let us explain what the job involves!
In short, it covers the overall work of creating articles for Nishinomiya Tsushin.
It’s a fun and unusual job where you create articles in a relaxed style that make Nishinomiya residents feel, “This is fun, interesting, and useful!”
Here’s a more specific look.
Food Reporting
For example, right now you might write food reports on things like tapioca drinks.
So people who enjoy eating will probably find the work easier.
As long as you can take food photos with a smartphone, that’s perfectly fine.
Reporting on Events and Various Spots
You may go out to cover events and various spots around Nishinomiya.
Sometimes this may be on weekends or at night, so we’d appreciate someone who can be flexible.
The main task is usually photography. You may also interview people.
Finding Topics
You’ll keep your eyes open while covering food and events, and even while commuting, to find topics around Nishinomiya.
From store openings and closings to construction work, we want you to put your local radar to full use and spot the changes happening in Nishinomiya.
Of course, you’ll also gather Nishinomiya-related tips from social media and the internet.
We’re Looking for People Like This!
The basic job at Nishinomiya Tsushin is to write fun articles.
Since it’s an information site, speed is also important, and you’ll need a certain amount of stamina too.
We’re looking for people like this.
You’re Okay with Showing Your Face
There may be times when you appear in articles, so honestly, it’s difficult if you’re not okay with showing your face.
Oh, but you don’t have to do anything as model-like as Leader @ Nishitsu. As long as you’re okay appearing normally, that’s fine.
You’re Honest, Cheerful, and Positive
“Would readers enjoy it if we did something like this?”
“Is this what readers are looking for right now?”
We’d be happy to welcome someone who can think about things like that, try new ideas, and stay honest, cheerful, and positive.
You Can Ride a Bicycle
You’ll use trains and buses for reporting trips too, but we’d appreciate someone who doesn’t mind riding a bicycle.
Since Nishinomiya has lots of slopes, of course we provide electric bicycles!
If you have a driver’s license, you may also be able to go to reporting assignments by car!
No Specialized Knowledge Required
Nishinomiya Tsushin is a relaxed kind of media outlet, so we don’t require any special abilities or technical skills.(Of course, we’d be happy if you have them.)
So as long as you can use a computer for things like email and the internet, and you use social media or a blog and can write reasonably well, you’ll be fine.
The idea is to work in a bright and fun way!
That was our introduction to Nishinomiya Tsushin!
