PROCESS · EDITORIAL + APPLICATION

How it works.

Two sequences — how work moves through the newsroom, and how applications are evaluated. Selective by design. We evaluate your work, not only your interest.

Sequence A — Editorial workflow

Pitch → publish.

Work moves through a newsroom workflow: pitch, write, edit, approve, publish.

01 — Pitch

Pitch

Writers propose ideas with an angle, relevance, and initial sourcing. Coverage includes school, Jordan, global topics, and sports.

02 — Write

Write

Drafts are written with evidence, attribution, and structure. You revise until the reporting is clear and defensible.

03 — Edit

Edit & approve

Editors review for quality, neutrality, sourcing, and clarity. Editors control final publish decisions.

APPROVED FOR PUBLICATION
04 — Publish

Publish & distribute

Approved work is published. Media supports visuals and distribution so strong reporting is seen, not buried.

Sequence B — Application workflow

Form → decision.

Selective by design. We evaluate your work, not only your interest.

01 — Form

Fill out the form

Apply as a Writer, Editor, or Media. Share concise, specific answers.

02 — Task

Complete the task

Writers submit a pitch or writing sample. Editors review and improve a sample draft. Media submits a photography/design/distribution sample.

03 — Review

Internal review

We review applications for accuracy, judgment, clarity, and consistency. Selection depends on quality and newsroom needs.

04 — Decision

Final decision

Decisions are sent by email. Interviews may be used only when needed for advanced roles or close decisions.

ON THE RECORD

Expectations

Apply only if you can meet the standard consistently. Non-negotiables include: current ABS student, deadlines, feedback, accuracy, and a minimum of 2–4 hours per week.
