TechPowerUp Staff Opening: News Editor

At TechPowerUp we are currently looking for one, maybe two additional news editors to strengthen our ranks. This is a paid, part-time, remote position. You will be publishing news stories and press releases on our frontpage under minimal supervision.

As candidate you should bring a drive to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the tech industry, and a passion to write. Your written English should be excellent; non-native writers are welcome. Some basic image editing skills are required.

If you are interested, send the following to w1zzard@techpowerup.com:
  • Some personal info. Who? Where? Age? A bullet list will do.
  • Pick any recent hardware news topic, write your own news story about it. Length should be similar to TPU news posts (between 150 to 200 words).
  • Write a second story, an opinion piece on a different hardware news topic of your choosing. 200 to 250 words.
Please proofread your submissions properly. The deadline for applications is in two weeks (Feb 12).

Hi,
Yeah I can see you might have trouble getting past the items opening sentences where they are all leaders at what ever product is :laugh:

W1zzard10% (!) of our overall traffic comes from China, because we're not a CN media, so they trust us more than their own sites. Making a CN version of TPU is complicated. We need to talk to new advertisers to finance it, but we don't know their language or culture. Also moving money in and out of CN isn't trivial, so we'd need to setup a local office, which costs even more money. Once once we've done all that, CN people would say we're a CN media, and they'll stop trusting us
Not all Chinese people will be able to even see TPU because of their governments restrictions and those that know how to get around them most likely know english already.

Most banks will help you transfer dollars to RMB and vice versa, I know for a fact Chase will.

This would make you one of the most unbiased writers of all times.

It "just works" from everywhere in China, I've tested it personally while travelling. Unless there's some corp firewall of course that blocks it because it falls in the category "media, entertainment", just like in the West

Not sure how an employed dude can cope with job like that. It really asks for dedication.

Good Luck

Argyrisn't English beautiful? what an awesome language. I promise I will master it fully after my next karmic rebirth.
Not if you are able to attain moksha first.

क्षीयन्ते चास्य कर्माणि तस्मिन् दृष्टे परावरे

Although in your case I highly doubt it.

I can already imagine the news posts from you being something like,

“Belkin did a press release. Belkin. So, yeah, here’s a link but suffice to say it’s probably just a boring laptop bag, charger, or something generic like that. If you buy whatever it is, be sure to post in the forum so we can either shower you with friendly jabs or tacitly express utter apathy.”

Is the job mainly focused on covering new hardware releases or more general? Currently my main interest is tech sovereignty. In my view you should be able to do what you want with the software and hardware you own.

While Linux already has good, dedicated news channels, the same can't be said for mobile operating systems. Even the major alternatives LineageOS, GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are virtually unknown.
On the hardware side I would cover RISC-V and Right to Repair.

Honestly, even if you and TPU worked out only a limited, tertiary position, I’d love to see/read them to whatever volume you can sustain && the site feels appropriate.

They are unknown for a reason. Or for many reasons, to be precise.

The focus of TPU is elsewhere but some people here maintain long, informative forum threads about related topics such as GPU BIOS flashing or PC audio or reuse of old hardware. So I suggest you to start writing in forums first and see what sort of feedback you get, it might turn out to be very positive.
