About part time job/internship
We're not looking for just another journalist. We need someone who can own the news stream, define its tone and narrative, and bring clarity to the chaos of world and Indian politics. This is not a passive content aggregation role. You will curate, frame, and organize the day's biggest stories into a compelling, structured news bulletin for an automated YouTube news channel. Your job is to set the agenda, decide what matters, and shape how the audience perceives the news.
Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities include:
1. Own the news stream: You control the flow of news and decide what gets covered and how.
2. Set the editorial tone: Create a sharp, insightful, and engaging news narrative that resonates.
3. Curate with authority: Select and prioritize top global and Indian news stories, ensuring depth and balance.
4. Structure news bulletins: Organize segments in a way that keeps audiences informed, engaged, and coming back.
5. Frame the conversation: Bring context and strong editorial judgment to every news piece.
6. Challenge narratives: Push beyond surface-level reporting. Investigate what's being said, what's missing, and why it matters.
