Freelance writing, Web TV Network, topic: summaries of shows, pays $12 per blog post

Web TV network ThisWeekIn is looking for excellent writers to work on blog posts for some of our tentpole series. We produce compelling, informative, fun weekly video and audio podcasts that stream live over UStream/Justin.tv and are then available on iTunes, YouTube and elsewhere around the Web. We need writers who will watch our shows and write detailed, engaging summaries that will be posted next to embedded episodes on our website.

The job would mainly include viewing some of our shows, gathering "show notes" and outlines from hosts and then composing summary blog posts for our website based on those notes. The posts must be up within 24 hours of the show's live debut.

Here's a good example of what these blog posts should look like:

Applicants must have basic knowledge of WordPress, a great attitude, EXCELLENT writing skills and the ability to quickly produce high-quality writing.
