Who can apply
Candidates must hold a Degree or Diploma in Journalism. They also need not less than three years of work experience in online media. In addition, the notification asks for skill in live-streaming official programmes on social media platforms, along with proficiency in the related software.
The notification was issued from Thiruvananthapuram in the name of the Director of the department, Sabin Sameed IAS. The PRD Live App news project functions under the Information Public Relations Department, whose office is at South Block, Government Secretariat, Thiruvananthapuram.

The notification says further details are available in the "What's New" section of the kerala.gov.in website and in the "Announcement" section of the prd.kerala.gov.in website.
What is not yet clear
The notification, as reported by FreeJobAlert, does not mention how much the daily wage will be. It also does not give an age limit, an application fee or the method of selection. Interested candidates may need to check the official websites or contact the department for these details before applying.
Since applications sent by post must be received, and not just posted, by the last date, applicants should allow enough time for delivery.
Why it matters
The opening is a small one, with only one post, but it is relevant for journalism graduates and diploma holders in Kerala who have worked in online media and know live-streaming. The post is linked to the state government's own digital news effort, the PRD Live App.
