RH Reality Check Seeks Global Writers on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Issues
RH Reality Check (www.RHRealityCheck.org
) is an online publication launched in May of 2006 to provide the latest analysis, news, and commentary on issues of sexual and reproductive health, with a particular emphasis of providing a rapid response
mechanism for experts in the field to counter trumped up data and ideological policies promoted by the far-right.
RH Reality Check is growing in response to community demand and seeks to add 5-6 weekly contract writers from different regions of the world. Writers will be paid a small stipend for their weekly contributions and will communicate with RH Reality Check staff via instant message and email. Writers will have experience in sexual and reproductive health issues and the ability to make policy conversations relevant to everyday life of the women and men around the world seeking reality based information about reproductive health.
Writers will be expected to write in English (we will post in native language as well), be familiar with journalistic style, able to interview people, provide reviews of information in books, movies, TV. The ability to do home produced video or digital photos is a plus, but not required. Writers who are actively engaged online, working with new media tools, and understand the importance of building online community will be given a preference as will writers eager to learn these new tools to share with others.
Writers should submit a resume, writing sample and tell us why you are motivated to write about sexual and reproductive health issues on a weekly basis.
Send to tyler@rhrealitycheck.org no later than February 22, 2007.
Please forward this to people you think would be interested in helping grow RH Reality Check into a global online community advancing progressive ideas on sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice issues.
