Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It seems almost too good to be true. A job where you get to travel the world and have people listen to what you think of the whole experience.
But that's exactly what's being offered by Finland's flagship airline Finnair.
This month the airline is searching for four "Quality Hunters'' to scour the globe and report back on all that's good - and not so good.
According to a press release issued by the airline, the "Quality Hunters'' will travel to cities in Europe, Asia and the US throughout October and November at the same time "assessing flights, airports and destinations.''
They will be required to supply "impartial views and recommendations to the company on a regular basis throughout the two-month period.''
And, so the public at large can keep up with developments; a "Rethink Quality'' website (www.finnair.com/rethinkquality) has been launched so that these Quality Hunters can share all their adventures with the world.
"The recruitment of the Quality Hunters is one means for Finnair to focus more closely on issues that are important to today's travellers,'' Antti Nieminen, Global Marketing Communications Manager at Finnair Plc, said via a press release. "We believe that the Quality Hunters' blogs will promote interesting and constructive discussions about travel.''
More information is available via the website and applications for the post will be accepted until September 26.
Once the Hunters are out on the trail, the public will be encouraged to interact via their blogs and then at the end of the exercise people can vote for which one of the four has been the Top Quality Hunter. Readers of the blogs themselves stand to win intercontinental flights for two between Europe and Asia for participating.
The Rethink Quality website also features travel-related articles from the like of Alice Rawsthorn, design critic at the International Herald Tribune and British writer and commentator Alain de Botton.
The move is the latest in a string of "ultimate job'' competitions that have included Australia's "Ultimate Job In the World'' competition (http://www.islandreefjob.com), which saw an Englishman hired to look after (and help promote) some of the state of Queensland's famous island destinations, and a competition based out of Ireland which tasked a couple with a job of testing out honeymoon destinations for six months (www.runawaybrideandgroom.com).
