When we get elected they’ll have to kick off a special investigation… into how cool we are.

Yes, that’s right, Bwog is running for the nation’s highest office, and we need you, yes you to keep the site running while we do the important work of begging Goldman Sachs for money and getting video of us looking contemplative at, like, farms or whatever.

Bwog’s Daily Editors are like the unsung heroes of Sorkin’s political fantasies, the hardworking Hill staffers that grease the wheels of government so everyone else can do their job. However, instead of Walk and Talking, you’ll be WordPress and Slacking (much more useful skills given the current office climate of digital media startups, anyway).

The job of a Daily Editor is to manage Bwog one day each week. On that day, the Daily writes a couple of posts (Bwoglines, an announcement, maybe a shortform), edits and schedules several other posts, covers breaking news, and does anything else necessary to keep the site running. Perks include: you become infinitely familiar with WordPress, you learn about campus news as it’s happening, you get an excuse to yell at staff writers, and you write the tags. Plus, if you do a really good job, maybe we’ll task you with creating lasting peace in the Middle East once we win.

If you’re interested, fill out the application below and send it to editors@bwog.com by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, January 29.  Applications should be submitted in the form of a .PDF document titled “*First Name* App.” Bring any questions you have to our first open meeting this Sunday! Or, if you can’t make the meeting, send your questions to editors@bwog.com.
