THE National is always on the hunt for new ways to engage our audience – and we want to talk to people who could be involved in one such upcoming project.
We’re putting out a call for assistance on something we’re cooking up that will involve journalism in Gaelic.
We don’t want to give too many details away yet – but we’ve already been in touch with some parties helping to shape what's coming.
While the exact details of the project are still in the works, as it will involve the Gaelic language, The National is looking for journalists and writers who know it.
If you can speak Gaelic and think you might be interested, please send over a quick email and CV to stewart.ward@thenational.scot and we’ll follow up with you soon with more details.
We’d love to hear from as many people as possible – we’re excited for this project and hope others will be too!
However, if you’re a Scottish Tory MSP who removes Gaelic from the Scottish Parliament logo, maybe save yourself the trouble of applying …
National editor Callum Baird said: “While this is still a bit of a secret project just now, The National is a paper that serves Scotland – its culture, its languages and more.
“Gaelic is part of the fabric of this country and so we’ve been cooking something up.
“Thanks in advance to everyone who gets in touch!”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
