Full Job Description

Legis1 is a political news company with a fresh approach. We combine structured data, artificial intelligence, and real editorial expertise to produce accurate, high-volume coverage of government, legislation, and elections. We're building something new — and we want great editors to help shape it.

POSITION

We are hiring a team of 7 junior editors on a consulting basis to help review, edit, and improve AI-generated political news content. This is a great entry point for someone early in their editing or journalism career who wants hands-on experience at the cutting edge of AI-assisted newsrooms.

You do not need to be a tech expert. You do need to care about accuracy, clear writing, and how government works.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Daily Content Review & Editing

Read and edit AI-generated news stories about legislation, elections, voting records, and government activity
Check facts — bill numbers, vote counts, committee actions, election results
Correct grammar, tone, clarity, and structure
Flag stories that need a closer look before publication

Quality Control

Follow editorial guidelines to make sure every story meets accuracy and style standards
Help identify patterns in errors so the team can improve the AI's output over time
Apply consistent standards across different story types (short briefs, summaries, reports)

Editorial Support

Support senior editors with workflow tasks and content management
Help maintain organized editorial queues in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
Contribute feedback on what's working and what isn'tå

REQUIREMENTS

Required

Bachelor's degree in Journalism, English, Political Science, Public Policy, or a related field
Some editing or writing experience — internships, campus media, freelance, or entry-level roles count
Basic understanding of how U.S. government and legislation work
Strong attention to detail and ability to catch factual errors
Comfortable working independently and managing your own task queue
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general digital tools

Nice to Have

Any experience with political journalism, policy writing, or civic content
Familiarity with AI writing tools (ChatGPT, etc.)
Experience with content management systems (CMS)
Coursework or interest in data journalism or digital media

Salary/Rate: $18.00 - $20.00/per hour depending on skills and experience.

Consulting / Contract Position

Legis1 is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

#Legis1

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
