MiD DAY, Mumbai’s most exciting English-language tabloid, is looking for an Online Editor.
With monthly page views exceeding 20 million (for real, not a marketing spiel) and a constantly rising visitors’ graph, MiD DAY wants to make things happen in the online space. And to do this, it requires someone with the energy of an army ant and the wisdom of a saintly guru. And anyone who can spot the mixed metaphor in that sentence may also consider applying, provided they meet the following requirements for the job:
What the job entails
The position reports into the Executive Editor, and is based at the Mumbai headquarters of MiD DAY.
Remuneration: Well, we are quite generous when it comes to remuneration provided the chosen candidate for Online Editor is Batman plus something else. It will also depend on how much you are earning right now.
How to apply: Send a cover letter (please don’t send a template cover letter which you may have sent to 10 other places) and your resume to editor@mid-day.com
Important: Please DO NOT attach files. Instead, both the cover letter and the resume should be part of the email body text.

- You have at least a graduate degree in any field, but with a decent academic record. (If you can play the guitar and entertain us on a bad news day, you will be given preference).
- You know what social media is all about, and understand videos, podcasts and other things that make a news website a news website.
