We are looking for a fixed-term journalist for the Ilta-Sanomat feature editorial office. The job includes creating content for both the IS Extra subscription service and the free part of our site. The position requires strong journalistic experience and evidence of expertise in online paywall content. The fixed term begins on September 1, 2026 (or at an agreed time) and ends on June 30, 2027.
