I am a journalist and editor with several years experience
at The Jerusalem Post. I have also written for other publications and
fund-raising organizations. Additionally, I have carried out public relations
and press liaison duties for a Jerusalem institution. In my capacity as a journalist I have been responsible
for gathering information and writing material for publication in print as
well as online. At The Jerusalem Post I have written for all areas of the
newspaper – which, in addition to the Daily, publishes a weekly magazine,
Jerusalem- and Tel Aviv-area supplements, a TV and leisure guide and other
seasonal supplements. I am equally comfortable with both American and English
spelling and usage. I am able to work on my own initiative and use
independent judgement. As an editor, I have moved from copy editing to editing
various sections of the newspaper, some as full-time jobs and others for
periods of several weeks/months when my colleagues have been away. I am able
to develop story ideas and assign stories, to determine the newsworthiness of
a story and ensure facts are accurate. I also have experience in determining
potential legal issues and journalistic policy violations. My job has entailed coordinating the activities of others
as well as cooperating closely with other journalists and PR firms. I am able
to critically edit material written by others and have proven ability in
editing and writing crisp, clear, concise text headlines, subheads, photo
captions, outtakes and introductions. Short of doing the actual layout myself, I am able to
take any idea and produce any kind of print publication from it. I have also
worked with the Jerusalem Post graphics team in creating and editing
Café Oleh, an online section of the jpost.com website, as well as the
blogs section. I am fluent in English, Spanish, French and German, with
working Hebrew, and have considerable experience in translating the first
three languages. I am a flexible, resourceful, dedicated team player with
strong communication and interpersonal skills. |
