The News & Creative Content Writer plays a central role in shaping the voice, credibility, and public trust of our digital publication.

This role is designed for curious, disciplined, and ethically minded writers who actively scour a wide range of sources—including the internet, radio, television, social media platforms, press releases, journals, magazines, personal networks, and on-the-ground contacts—to identify newsworthy stories and emerging trends.

Successful candidates will research topics thoroughly, verify facts using credible and multiple sources, and transform complex information into clear, engaging, and reader-friendly articles.

Writers are expected to cover diverse beats such as breaking news, politics, international affairs, sports, technology, entertainment, business and economics, health, and lifestyle, while maintaining accuracy, balance, and editorial integrity.

This role requires both speed and depth: the ability to respond quickly to breaking developments while also producing well-researched feature articles that provide context and insight.

Writers will collaborate closely with editors, researchers, and digital teams to ensure content aligns with the organisation’s editorial standards, audience needs, and long-term vision.
