RocketNews24 English is looking to hire a few talented writers to help us grow!
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, RocketNews24 is a Japanese-language news blog. Since our humble launch in 2008, we’ve built a massive fan base by reporting the interesting, strange and random—much of it brought over from the English-speaking world.
We are happy to announce that, thanks to a lot of hard work and our awesome readers, we are currently making plans to expand our website and increase our daily output. To this end, we are looking for a couple of talented writers to join our team.

Applicants from all over the world are welcome. We are also looking for speakers of Chinese, Korean or other Asian languages.
