Media Manager
Location: Washington DC
The American Independent News Network (AINN) seeks a dynamic
individual to manage the promotion of the Network’s amazing reporters
and hot breaking stories to outside media, including to press and
through social media. The Media Manager’s job will be to spread the
word far and wide about AINN’s journalism. This means developing
relationships with producers, bloggers, reporters at other outlets,
Twitter gurus, and others in the media world who can multiply the
reach of our stories.
AINN is a nonprofit online news organization comprised of news sites
in eight states and Washington, DC. AINN’s reporters once described
themselves as “ink-stained wretches of the digital era.” They are a
dedicated, hard-working team that breaks hot political stories nearly
everyday: stories that impact public debate and advance the common
good, stories that move readers to take action, stories that inspire
readers to name livestock after our reporters.
Responsibilities
There are two primary areas for which you, as Media Manager, will be
responsible: outreach to existing media, and managing AINN’s social
media strategy. At times, if you are creative about it, the two areas
will overlap.
You will be responsible for managing and implementing all outreach to
relevant broadcast, print, and online press outlets, organizations,
websites, and more. This includes marketing our reporters and their
pieces to various news organizations for media pick up. You will work
with the editorial team to ensure that stories are being sent to the
relevant news outlets. You will be responsible for managing and
standardizing social media practices for and across the Network. Wit,
flexibility, and innovation are keys to success.
Additionally, as Media Manager, you will
- identify opportunities for outside media coverage of AINN and
stories produced through the Network and secure appropriate coverage,
- cultivate and maintain relationships with reporters, producers, and
editors,
- ensure the press database is up-to-date and well-organized,
- identify new ways to promote the network and work through social
media,
- create and manage social media standards for the network,
- research and implement new social media opportunities,
- work within the publishing department to coordinate collaborative
press and outreach strategy,
- work with the editorial department to organize all direct and
indirect press citations and appearances,
- promote media appearances by Network representatives as appropriate.
Qualifications
A qualified candidate for Media Manager
- is an effective writer and communicator, understanding how to tailor
messaging to different audiences,
- has an existing active online presence,
- works quickly to take advantage of opportunities,
- collaborates effectively and understands why it’s important,
- believes in the strength of online journalism,
- has a college degree and relevant experience that translates to this
position.
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. This position
reports to the Publisher. This position is based out of the AINN home
office in Washington, DC, where there is a mini-cupcake maker and a
combination egg poacher-toaster.
To Apply
All interested applicants should email their cover letter, resume, and
relevant samples of your work to applications@tainews.org. Please use
a subject heading that grabs our attention and makes us want to open
your email.

communities, developing leaders who want to change the system in
