Salary : USD 400 to USD 500
Background
The Women’s Media Centre of Cambodia is a non-governmental and non-profit organization. Since 1995, WMC has been one of the key institutions in Cambodia working to change social attitudes, by promoting gender equity and equality, women’s empowerment and gender awareness. WMC uses multi-media as a path to achieve empowerment for women, girls, and other vulnerable groups.
The organization strives to promote positive behavioral change through four main activities: the Women’s Radio program, video production, digital multimedia platform, and community-based media outreach and training. We produce high quality radio, daily news, video and online digital material to educate a variety of target audiences, and advocate with and for women and minorities.
WMC reaches approximately 2 million people daily through radio. WMC’s media coverage, especially radio, extends to more than 50% of the population from both urban and rural areas. Rural communities, especially women and girls, may have limited access to electricity, smart phones, and internet, and do not always have access to digital media. In this context, radio continues to be an important source of daily news and information for a substantial part of Cambodia’s population. Additionally, the WMC website and social media have reached out to a substantial number of people. The website has about 40,000 visitors per day, Facebook has 600,000 followers, and YouTube has 200,000 subscribers.
WMC is seeking for a dynamic, professional, and qualified Cambodian for the position of Senior News Reporter. Qualified women are strongly encouraged to apply.
