Volunteer Newsletter Writer


Employer:  Vilas Ink
Pay:  Volunteer
Job Type:  Part-time
Journalism or other student writer wanted to help local neighborhood association create articles for quarterly newsletter. "Vilas Ink" is a 12-page newsletter that is printed and mailed to around 600 households in the Edgewood/Monroe/Vilas area, and includes local announcements, reports from elected officials and articles about notable people, buildings, businesses and public issues. The first opportunity is for a 600-700 word article on a new community development corporation that ex-mayor Dave Cieslewicz will be leading. Submission deadline is October 28th, with publication in mid-November.
This is a good opportunity for a student to work with local sources to understand and describe a significant new program in the City of Madison, perhaps laying the groundwork for a longer article with wider distribution.  Additional articles could be written as time and interest allow in the future.
