AOL looking for Editors/Programmers
I know it's strange to post a job, but I picked this up off of one of my listservs, and some of what reads here may not all be required. I thought some of you DC/VA/MD cats might be interested in the gigs.
AOL is looking to hire 6 editor/programmers for an African American programming product launching this fall. Tempermentally, the ideal candidate is an editor/writer/semi-pro blogger, who is also a regular reader of the Africana A-List, and a member of the Afrofuturism yahoo group in good standing. Standard edit gig must have's apply, as well as extras like a keen grasp of audience-driven programming and loyalty engines, so familiarity with (and excitement about) site like plastic.com, neopets and pre-dating BlackPlanet.com would be greats.
The gigs are all full-time and will be located on AOL's Dulles, VA campus (40 minutes outside of DC) and run the range from mid-level to senior. Feel free to circulate this to anyone. Reply to dauphing@aol.com.

Thank you for this Lynne. I'm in need of a career/location change.
This job search stems from Africana.com moving its offices from Boston to the VA campus.

Wow. I wonder if my Africana.com career is over. First they're only doing columns and reviews for the summer (no features or Q&A's!), now this! The pay was sooo good!
Oh well... too bad there isn't a Latino.com. Even if there was it would probably only be for Boricuas in NY... the east coast always have the cool jobs..

Hey Q,
Your career with Africana isn't over, it's just getting a location change.
The new African product that AOL is launching is going to have more room for writers, so just hold tight and keep in touch...
