Journalist Advisor Jobs

Advisors help newspaper and magazine editors manage the style and content of written publications such as newspapers, magazines and trade journals. They advise and oversee the overall editorial direction of a publication, or they may be responsible for an individual section. The advisors are responsible for commissioning articles. Advisors also decide which articles will be included in the publication and decide how they will be laid out for publishing. Advisors consider submissions for inclusion from freelance journalists, photographers, and illustrators. Advisors also rarely have responsibility for other matters such as budgetary control, hiring staff, and working with advertising and production departments.

To become an advisor, the job candidate should be a post graduate in English Literature or journalism or should possess any media degree. Experience with small editing firms and content companies are also useful.
