Many music reporters go their days immersed within the phenomenon that’s Taylor Swift, however one U.S. news outlet mentioned it is hiring a journalist devoted solely to the pop titan.
Gannett’s profession website now features a job submit looking for a “Taylor Swift reporter” for the Tennessean and USA Today retailers.
“The successful candidate is a driven, creative and energetic journalist able to capture the excitement around Swift’s ongoing tour and upcoming album release, while also providing thoughtful analysis of her music and career,” the submit mentioned.
“We are looking for a journalist with a voice  — but not a bias  —  able to quickly cultivate a national audience through smart content designed to meet readers on their terms. This reporter will chronicle the biggest moments on the next portions of Taylor Swift’s tour, offering readers of USA TODAY, The Tennessean and more than 200 local news sources an inside view.”
Gannett — which owns the nationwide newspaper USA Today in addition to many native newspapers — has slashed jobs repeatedly over the previous a number of years throughout native markets. In December it laid off six p.c of its news division.
Now it is looking for an “experienced” and “video-forward” journalist who can be “an energetic writer, photographer and social media pro” to cowl Swift — and Swift alone.
The wage vary is huge — between $21.63 and $50.87 per hour — and requires worldwide journey.
The massively widespread Swift, 33, is anticipated to set a report for the primary billion-dollar tour because of her career-spanning Eras Tour. Along with a number of new albums in recent times she has been re-recording her earlier work to resounding success.
Still, it is uncommon for an outlet to dedicate a reporter to 1 persona, notably if they are not a senior authorities official or head of state.
