To apply for an opening send an e-mail to leva@firefox.org that includes:
1) A subject line that indicates which position you are applying for.
2) 500 words or less introducing yourself and explaining why we should pick you. This is your chance to brag.

4) In addition, if you are a fanwriter or fanartist you may at your option provide links to your fanworks. (This helps us get an idea of your personality and your knowledge of the fandom.)
If you have content you want us to consider that is in a flocked Livejournal, Journalfen, or Greatest Journal account let us know; we will be happy to friend you. (Firefox News's editor's handle is ljcygnet for all three.)
Series Reviewers
We are looking for reporters to review new episodes of genre TV shows. You must be consistent and willing to get the review up by the Monday following the airing of the episode unless the episode airs on a Sunday, then you have two more days. (This gives you the weekend to write for most series.) The "Series Reviewer" position is ideal for someone who would blog about new episodes of their favorite series anyway.
If you want to cover a series, please look and see if we currently have an active reporter covering it. Check and see if anyone's written reviews for the most recent episodes. If you do not see any reviews, by all means please apply.
