Imagine what it would be like to launch an entirely new web property that is truly ground breaking! How about the chance to work with some of the best people in the online industry and discovering new ways of delivering online content? And, in case you?re wondering, along the way you become recognized as the online expert for a topic you care deeply about. That same topic your family and friends hear you talk about - even after they?ve left the room! This is your chance to legitimize that expertise with a platform that will both inform and shape public opinion. As a Channel Content Manager at Examiner.com you?ll be part of the team offering local knowledge, information and news to communities across the country. Finally, the promise of local is being realized!

This is your chance to be part of a team developing a new way to create and distribute local knowledge, community and news. Let?s be clear from the start, this is not just another blog site, online newspaper, social networking site or local guide. By using what you know about delivering compelling content, Examiner.com will become the premier destination for the local markets across the country. Clarity Media ? a unit of the Anschutz Entertainment Group ? has launched the next version of Examiner.com as the local online provider that will become the envy of the industry. Examiner.com will offer local knowledge content, information and news in 59 major metropolitan areas delivered by local examiners ? credible, passionate local people who want to share their expertise. We are re-creating online content venues from the ground up in terms of both technology and content delivery ? to establish a national brand that is the destination of choice for local information. Using technologies like video, internet radio, social networking, photographs, blogs and good old fashioned reporting, local writers will publish content that matters to their local communities and national readers. This is the chance to offer local content, community and news the way you?d like to see it.

Think about what people will be saying one year from now:

?Examiner.com is where I go to find the most compelling local information on the web. They showcase both the local and national news stories I care about with all of the necessary links to what I need to know.?

?I love the commentary on our local community ? I really appreciate the honest, fresh, controversial and even irreverent viewpoints. It offers the kind of balance I really appreciate.

?The photographs are incredible!? They obviously do their research and scour all of the relevant multimedia sites for the best local information.?

?The Local City Guide? is my trusted resource for finding local information on restaurants, events, movies, nightlight, shopping, traffic, weather, local government and yellow pages. This is where I go when I want to find out what?s happening.?
