Subject: editorial job at Mute


Mute magazine is looking for an addition to its editorial team. As part of
the company's reorganisation, we are seeking to appoint an assistant editor
to work closely with the editors and deputy editor on all aspects of
editorial.

Initially, the assistant editor will share responsibility for basic subbing
and commissioning as well as feed into editorial development. In the longer
term, his/her job will encompass all aspects of editorial, from
co-commissioning larger features to helping devise themes and developing
creative crossovers with the company=92s website, Metamute.  The assistant
editor will join the magazine at an exciting time of change: Mute (launched
in 1994) is seeking to build on its distinctive editorial history by
finding original ways to pursue established editorial threads on art, net
politics, information economies, globalisation and protest.

The magazine and associated website will also function increasingly as
spaces in which models of cultural self-sustainability are explored. As
such, the development of editorial content should be understood in the
'bigger picture' of innovative information architectures, tools and
services.

You are likely to bring to the role the following: excellent command of the
English language, experience in writing, subbing and editing, and a sound
knowledge of contemporary culture and politics. Although it would help for
you to be familiar with Mute's history and cultural context, we are
ultimately most interested in your informed and critical opinion on how the
magazine should service independent cultural production now.

The job is part time (3 days p/w) and subject to the satisfactory
completion of a three month test=92 period. The salary will be in the range
of =A314-16K pro rata, depending on skills and experience. We are keen to
appoint ASAP.

If you'd like to discuss this further, please send your CV with a covering
letter detailing what you might bring to this job and organisation to
Pauline van Mourik Broekman and Simon Worthington (the editors), Mute, 2nd
=46loor East, Universal House, 88-94 Wentworth Street, London E1 7SA. For

DEADLINE: 29th OCTOBER, 2001

If you've never heard of Mute before, its home page at

development since 1994 as well as a manifesto of sorts entitled Ceci n'est
pas un magazine=92 [http://metamute.com/mfiles/mcontent/metamutemap.pdf].

We are happy to send interested parties a recent issue for preparation
purposes.
