Sanderson & Associates in Chicago is looking for a writer who has experience writing for a daily paper. Candidates also need to understand news hooks, leads, story angles and deadlines … or, in other words, they are looking for a journalist.

In the company’s JournalismJobs.com listing, they ask for:

“… someone who can turn out four releases a day of 400 words or less – or one great byline article.

On your “down” time you will post to a couple of blogs and sites and help us with social media lists and pitch letters.

If you are not adverse to picking up a phone and talking to a reporter now and then all the better–but you will be interviewing small business owners frequently for topics we will determine.

We have a great, close knit group in a small office – I want a real worker not someone using us to troll on the computer all day. We are competitive in salary and have top-notch insurance, perks etc. But only the right person stays here.
