in  London
Date Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 18:01


*US Embassy London - South Asia Media Specialist*



The Regional Media Hub at US Embassy London is in search of a
detail-orientated, multilingual South Asia Media Specialist characterized by
outstanding interpersonal skills and the ability to excel under pressure.



In this varied and challenging role, you will be at the forefront of
communications with South Asia journalists, editors, and other high level
contacts in order to explain and promote the policies and perceptions of the
United States Government thorough the design and implementation of a full
range of press events, interviews, media opportunities and original
articles.



As a University graduate, you will have gained impressive work experience as
a journalist in a South Asia media organization, or acquired equivalent work
experience within the South Asia media.  Now you will be in search of a new

visitors and special Hub programs/projects.

Thank you for your email. I will try to respond to your message as
soon as possible, but as I work part time in two separate libraries,
the Centre of South Asian Studies and the Royal Commonwealth Society
Library, I may not be able to answer your enquiry immediately.

 Dear Rachel,



Thank you for taking the time to speak with me yesterday. Further to our
conversation, I have attached the external advertisement we have for the
position of South Asia Media Specialist.  A further, more detailed job
description will go live on our website this coming Friday. We are very
grateful for your kind offer to add it to your forum and forward it onto
those who may be interested.



Kindest regards,



Geraldine
