18 November 2003

The Open Society Institute's EU Monitoring and Advocacy Program (EUMAP), in co-operation with the Network Media Program (NMP), is seeking consultants to research and write reports on broadcasting regulation and the independence of the media in 20 European countries.

Twenty positions are available and offer a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of media independence in these countries. The project begins in January 2004.

Under the supervision of the EUMAP Programme Director, consultants will be required to conduct research, write a report on an assigned country and assist in follow-up advocacy efforts.

Successful candidates will be those with extensive experience in media issues; good knowledge of broadcasting issues in the country they are covering; very good command of the national language(s) of the country to be monitored; strong writing skills in English; ability to work under pressure; and ability to work in a multicultural team environment.

Please submit applications with a CV, cover letter, three references and two short writing samples (e.g. articles or essays), in English, to: eumap@osi.hu with "Media Reporter" and the country you wish to cover, in the subject line, (i.e. "Media Reporter Romania").

The deadline for applications is 5 December 2003.
