ABOUT LIVE MAGAZINE SA

Live Magazine SA is a quarterly youth culture publication originally from London: which includes a glossy youth magazine and mobi channel featuring an inspirational mix of gritty youth culture and information, advice, career guidance and things to do for a youth audience.

The twist: everything in the magazine is produced by young people themselves, from the commissioning and editing, to the design, layout and distribution. Its mission: to give life-changing skills development and employability training for its participants, and to educate and inspire tens of thousands of young readers with an inspiring, engaging and entertaining mix of arts, culture, sports and fashion mixed with hard-hitting youth issues and crucial information and guidance for young people.

Seed funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation, Live Magazine gives opportunities to a core team of dedicated young people to take ownership of their own publication, and provide relevant and credible youth content for hundreds of thousands of young South African readers.

WANTED: MEDIA MENTOR FOR LIVE MAG SA’S NEW JOHANNESBURG HUB

Live Magazine SA is opening its first satellite office in Johannesburg in Feb/Mar 2013, and is looking for a content-creation mentor to work with a brand new team of contributors in Braamfontein.

Launched in 2011, Live Magazine SA is a youth lifestyle magazine that is 100% created by 16-25 year olds from South Africa. With a main production office in Cape Town, the magazine itself is distributed all over the country, and amplified by its online channels – via mobi, YouTube and social networks.

We need a part-time media mentor who can oversee every type of content being created across Live SA’s platforms by young contributors from a new office hub in Braamfontein. This hub will engage with aspiring content creators who will produce magazine, mobile and YouTube content, with a particular focus on arts and culture.

Candidates should be all-rounders who are well versed in producing content for multiple platforms, with a superb knowledge of social media, writing for web, print and ideally basic video capture and editing.

This is a role for a facilitator – mentors don’t produce content themselves – who can oversee patiently and constructively, with a passion for seeing young creative people excel and progress.

Good networks, a positive attitude and a keen interest and knowledge of the arts and culture scene would be a massive benefit.

Flexible commitment (3 days per week) would suit a freelancer, and there may be some evenings required.

Please apply with a CV and covering note to [email protected] by December 17^th.
