Outreach & Access develops the relationships that can lead to interviews, events, sources and original reporting.

The work is practical: finding the right contact, making the approach, following up properly and helping turn access into something editorially useful.

Typical work

• identify and contact relevant people for interviews;
• build relationships with PR teams, organisations and industry contacts;
• track events and opportunities worth pursuing;
• help writers prepare for interviews or access-led stories;
• maintain clear records of contacts and follow-ups.

We are looking for people who can communicate clearly, represent Ikoniko professionally and follow through without being vague or pushy.

Application task

Identify one person, event or organisation Ikoniko should approach and explain what you would try to get from that contact.
