Working with the charity WORLDwrite, volunteers are needed to join a team committed to developing an alternative monthly newsreel and fledgling News Channel. Covering work produced by the charity’s volunteers, as well as key debates and issues, the newsreel will examine the hot issues, investigate alternative views and summarise opinions. The newsreels will not cover the usual stories or existing preoccupations but will seek out local and global subjects which challenge prevailing assumptions, advance new knowledge and critique contemporary fads. With an uncompromising stance on global equality, the fledgling channel and its monthly programme will seek to influence prevailing attitudes and ideas. WORLDwrite is looking for a volunteer news channel centre manager who can oversee the running of a fledgling news channel, communicate with volunteers and ensure shoots of programmes go smoothly and everything required is in place. This project welcomes newcomers to the UK to help advance a truly global perspective.

This role will involve at least three days per month and needs someone with organisational drive and enthusiasm, and the ability to problem solve, help people out and pay meticulous attention to detail. A commitment to global equality is a must!
