This is a truly exciting time to join Arts Professional, the UK’s leading B2B digital publication serving the arts and cultural sector at a time of significant change in the industry.
With a website, a series of weekly e-bulletins and solid social media presence, we serve professionals working in or with the arts sector, across the full spectrum of art forms. This summer we will go live with a new modern publishing platform and updated branding.
Known for our high-quality investigative journalism and in-depth research-based coverage, we report on the stories that arts professionals need to develop their organisations and their work – everything from cultural policy and research, to fundraising and marketing, to advocacy and best practice. From time to time, we run our own surveys to gather the perceptions and opinions of the cultural sector on hot topics and key policy areas.
What does the role involve?
The role offers the chance to get involved in all aspects of editorial content, be part of the editorial decision-making process and be given responsibilities not available in a larger organisation. The successful candidate needs to be self-motivated, trustworthy, flexible and an adaptable self-starter.
The purpose of the role is to source, research, write and publish relevant high-quality news content for this well-established and respected digital publication for people who work in the arts and culture sector.
Is this the job for you?
The role will suit a journalist with professional experience, a keen interest in news journalism and, ideally, relevant expertise in the arts sector. This home-working role will suit a keen self-starter capable of working both independently and as a team player. Our team meet several times a year in London.
