Many thanks for the excellent work of Lyubov Sobol, Nikolai Lyaskin, channel producer Oksana Baulina, broadcast directors Alexei Yakovlev and Artem Guryev, engineer Vladimir Vidilin, editors Denis Akhmadiev and Elena Slesareva, and SMM editor Yan Matveev.
This small channel anniversary is a great occasion for an announcement.
We need hosts. Smart, principled people who want to work live on air and are capable of doing it. People ready to share the channel’s mission with us: telling people the truth about what is happening in Russia.
If that sounds like you—if you want to be part of our team, gain experience, become well-known (why not), and take part in our strange and wonderful media experiment—then give it a try. There is a very good chance that you are exactly the person we are looking for.
The assignment:
Go live or record (strictly in a single take, with no editing) and upload to YouTube a 5-minute video in which you talk about what you consider the five most important news stories of the week; send the link to the video, along with a short note about yourself, your work experience, education, and motivation, to konkurs@navalny2018.org; the subject line should be: I want to work on air at “Navalny LIVE”
