British
Correspondents
Needed
for
The
Week
Online
12/5/97
If you are a DRCNet subscriber residing in the U.K., DRCNet would like
you to consider applying to become a foreign correspondent for The Week
Online. Correspondents will be asked to file a maximum of one short story
per week (generally 2-3 paragraphs) on a current drug policy-related news
item. DRCNet will help you to choose a story and get in touch with experts
for quotes and reaction. These are non-paid positions, but your work will
be seen by thousands of people each week (great for students aspiring to
be journalists, or those who hope to work in the movement)! Drug policy
is exploding as a social and political issue in the U.K., but you'd never
know it to look at America's mainstream media. DRCNet needs you, and your
knowledge of your national media and political picture, so that we can
better serve our growing audience of reformers.
If you are interested in becoming a foreign correspondent, please contact
DRCNet associate director Adam Smith ([email protected]).
A writing sample would be helpful.
