    • You’re a student of the media, read and consume a wide variety of outlets on a regular basis and keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the news, pop culture, politics, and society and the environment.
    • You believe (like we do) that you do your best work when you’re living your best life – meaning, you’re all in at work during business hours, but then you are equally present with your friends, family, self-care, and personal hobbies outside of work.
    • You resonate with our core values.

    Qualifications:
