Getting to the bottom of things

Newsletter editor (Chinese / Asia Pacific)

PHOTON – the world’s leading photovoltaic magazine – is currently seeking a Newsletter Editor.

Every month, PHOTON presents a comprehensive view of photovoltaic (PV) developments to its large readership. Our newsletter summarizes important events in the PV world on a daily basis. That’s why we need your help.

Our newsletter is published in five different languages with nearly the same content. Each newsletter edition is managed by a newsletter editor with native fluency in the newsletter language, working as part of a five-person team. You would be responsible for compiling the Chinese version on a journalistic level. You will process the daily flood of press releases, analyze articles in other media sources and maintain close contact with our magazine editors. You are capable of writing reports from raw sources and conducting research on missing details. You are also responsible for choosing a selection of the most interesting newsletter reports for the corresponding sections in our monthly magazines.

You are able to make a long story short. You always get to the point and can explain the world tersely. You are passionate about obtaining the latest information and are willing to adjust your work hours to fit in with the news cycle. Knowledge of economics and energy policy is desirable, as is experience in science, research, and technology. A basic understanding of physics and electrical engineering is a plus.

You are a native Chinese speaker and your English is outstanding. Other languages are an advantage (particularly German, French, Spanish or Italian). You already have at least 1 year of professional experience as a news editor at a daily newspaper or agency, or can demonstrate comparable experience.
