Job Vacancies @ The Rocket

The Rocket is the monthly newspaper published by the Democratic Action Party (DAP). While the standards and quality have improved in the months leading to the March 8th elections, financial contraints meant that we had to rely heavily on volunteers and freelancers to do a fair bit of the work, plus the publishing schedule often getting out of whack.

Well, I've been tasked to take the Rocket forward and create a professional outfit which will further raise the bar for the DAP. The Rocket publishes regularly in English and Chinese, and occasionally in Malay. Now and then, a Tamil edition will appear. I'd like to change that, and we are now looking to hire a young (we'll take the young-at-heart as well ;-)) and dynamic team to make this happen all within the next few months. Longer term ambitions will include online and broadcast capabilities.

For those interested, you may apply for the available positions here via Jobstreet:

• General Manager
• Editors (English/Malay/Chinese)
• Journalists (English/Malay/Chinese/Tamil)
• Marketing & Circulation Executive(s)

Be quick - we are trying to finalise the team if possible, before the end of the month. ;-)
