Breaking News Reporter

Job Description:

We recently launched a new website:

We are looking for someone who can quickly write short reports on breaking news. This will be news related to financial markets, central banking, politics, economics, industries and companies.

The report should be 150-250 words long. It should typically include a review of the news item itself, background/context for the story and a brief comment on possible logical implications for investors, businesses, industries, politics and economic development.

Typically, we need to receive your report within one hour of the news breaking. Faster is better, but high quality is a must. You must include links to your sources at the end of the report, with a numerical reference in the report text. You must ensure that the content in your report complies with the copyright restrictions of your sources.

You can keep track of the news flow and suggest headlines for reports, and LFN will then assess and approve or reject the ideas. However, more typically, LFN will instruct you to write a piece on a particular event, e.g. US unemployment announcement, a vote in Congress and a quarterly earnings report by Tesla.

We will pay $15 per news report that is converted into an LFN article. The project budget is set to $6,000, which covers about one year of production. We will have milestones of 10 reports, paying $150 when you reach each milestone. The project may be renewed when the budget has been reached, or we may hire you in our UK company. You do not need to fulfil the project budget and can leave it at any time after each completed milestone.

Please note: We do not pay for reports that do not have sufficient quality to be converted into a published LFN article. We estimate that we would require 5-10 reports each working week. However, if you can generate large quantities of relevant and high-quality pieces, we will happily accept them.

Your writing must be factual and logical based on the available information. There is no room for your personal opinions. Your formulations must align with our Editorial Mission:

LFN will edit your news report into an article posted in the name of LFN on our website. Importantly, your name shall always remain hidden, and LFN will not give you personally any public recognition for the article or its content. Furthermore, LFN will retain full ownership of the report and all associated data once published. This means that you cannot submit content you have published anywhere else and cannot use the provided content for publications anywhere else in the future, i.e. LFN retains full exclusivity.

Importantly, you must ensure that your work cannot be considered plagiarism and does not include false statements of fact. If your reports are found to include false statements of facts or content breaching third-party copyrights, you agree to refund LFN the payment for such reports, and LFN will remove the content from our site immediately.

You must submit your news report in an MS Word file.

We will work with a single-person company or a company with several employees, but in any case, there must be one fixed contact person following up on the work with us.

Communication will primarily be by email.

We are indifferent to your background and experience. You should have an intrinsic interest in finance, economics, politics, companies and news in general. In addition, you must be able to write text in close to perfect English, either US or UK standard. Before submitting a news report, you must check the text thoroughly in Grammarly Pro or a similar advanced proofreading software. Settings should be for knowledgeable readers; avoid the expert setting. Proofing in MS Word is not sufficient.

In addition, LFN Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy apply to this work:
