Rudaw, a pioneering news organization based in Erbil, is recruiting freelance reporters in Europe and North America to report on issues related to the Kurds and the larger region. If you have reporting experience, a full directory of Kurdish contacts, willing to cover events and live in one of these locations, we would like to hear from you: Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, London, USA and Canada. If you are based in other European locations where there are large Kurdish communities, we would also like to hear from you. Successful candidates will have an eye for stories and be able to contribute spot stories, features and analyses.

We pay for every story published and our rates are competitive by industry standards. If interested, please send CV, specifying where you are based, together with three writing samples (Word attachments preferred) and three story ideas. Email to: submissions@rudaw.net

Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
