Jobs: Write for The Tiraspol Times

Journalistic content: Tiraspol Times seeks Staff Writers, Freelancers and Stringers to add to the quality content of the #1 news source in English for PMR, the Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublica.
You must have a good command of written English and be able to work under pressure to meet our publishing deadlines. All content will be fact-checked to meet the newspaper's standards for truth and accuracy in reporting, and you must provide independently verifiable sources. See guidelines in the Writers' guide, below.

Opinion and commentary: Apart from journalistic content, Tiraspol Times also invites opinion articles, guest commentary, letters to the editor and independent analysis. We do not pay for such content and we clearly mark it as "Opinion" in order to distinguish it from our regular news content.

All material must be supplied in electronic form. To submit material, please create an account on the TiraspolTimes.com server, by clicking on the "Create New Account" [1] link and following the instructions. When your account is created, you can login by using the panel to the right.

Writers' guide: New journalists for Tiraspol Times should study "Reporting for Change: A Handbook for Local Journalists in Crisis Areas" by the London-based Institute for War & Peace Reporting. With many countries moving towards democracy, the role of local journalists has never been more important. This book is a practical, hands-on manual to help local journalists contribute to positive change in societies undergoing major crises due to internal or external pressures (the latter being the case in PMR).
