Newsletter Writer/Columnist wanted (Southeast Asia) | 20+ cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: FOREIGN POLICY

Deadline: 30 June 2024

Foreign Policy is looking for a writer for a new weekly newsletter on Southeast Asia, modeled on FP’s other regional newsletters that cover politics, economics, and culture. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated history of reporting from around Southeast Asia and display an ability to weave together major trends from across the region in a smart and engaging weekly digest.

This is a part-time contract position with competitive pay.

REQUIREMENTS:

This role is best suited to an experienced freelance writer, editor, thinktanker, or commentator who will use FP’s global platform to cultivate a weekly readership spanning not only policymakers, investors, and academics, as well as people generally interested in Southeast Asian affairs and geopolitics.

Candidates should be based in, or spend a lot of time in, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, or Vietnam.

With your application, please include writing samples and a memo explaining how you would construct an edition of FP’s Southeast Asia Brief. Candidates are encouraged to read our other regional newsletters for examples of the writing style and analysis we are looking for.

We will read applications on a rolling basis.
