Social Media journalist & Community Manager (Apprentissage)

Cafébabel est le premier magazine de société européen en ligne. Depuis 2001 Cafébabel édite son média en plusieurs langues et tente de briser les frontières des lectorats européens en proposant des contenus informatifs de qualité s’adressant à un public jeune.

Porté par l’association Babel International, Cafébabel a vocation à exprimer le point de vue des générations d’une Europe sans frontières. De nombreux séminaires et stages d’écriture accompagnent les publications de contenus et permettent de recruter et mettre en contact de nouvelles plumes de journalistes citoyens et traducteurs.
Cafébabel est reconnu comme entreprise de presse d’information généraliste (IPG) par le Ministère de la Culture.

Babel International is a media NGO going beyond European borders. After 22 years of European participative journalism, Babel International is now sailing off to new horizons and is keen on increasing its impact on the European public sphere. Babel International is headquartered in Paris. Our gut feeling is that European journalism is founded by two pillars. The first one is producing newsworthy crossborder stories able to connect the dots across our continent. The second one is to work with like-minded local or national partners on European stories.

That’s why we are developing a new media ereb.eu, the first independent European magazine that promotes social justice and encourages democratic debate across Europe through cross-border journalism.

For the second leg of European journalism, since March 2021, our media NGO leads and coordinates SpheraNetwork, a network of independent media in Europe. With our partners StreetPress (FR), El Salto (ES), VDNews (IT), 444 (HU), Krytykza Politizkna (PL) Popaganda (GR), Bulle Media (BE)  and other cultural actors, we join forces to co-produce multilingual video and podcast stories for young people aged 18 to 30. 

For the next 18 months, we have big plans for our network like new collaborations with media across the continent and an original coverage of the 2024 European elections. Our objective is to expand our impact and visibility. 

We are therefore looking for a new social media journalist and community manager ready to embark into this journey with us.

Under the supervision of the editor at large, the social media journalist and community manager will be a key member of our newsroom and will contribute to both Sphera Network and ereb. He/she will actively contribute to our journalistic productions and their valorisation on various social media platforms.

The role includes drafting, scheduling, posting stories and social media posts on our platforms, having a key eye on social media trends and being part of our daily editorial workflow and calendar. She/he will be mentored by our team of journalists across Europe but will also be able to work autonomously with limited supervision. 

The position could be a great experience for aspiring journalists interested in crossborder stories and collaborations between media outlets across Europe. Having a good knowledge and interest on the TikTok platform would be also appreciated.

The position could be transformed into a full permanent contract once the apprenticeship is over.
