About The Position
Join The New York Times Editing Residency program. The Times is looking for journalists who want to build editing careers. This two-year residency offers a chance for participants to develop and hone their news editing skills, and to work on Times journalism. We are looking for candidates who are curious, collaborative and committed to excellence. Prior editing experience, while not necessary, is strongly recommended. You should expect to work on breaking news desks. You will also edit other types of journalism, including enterprise stories and special projects. You’ll be expected to handle multiple articles and pivot on deadline. The most competitive candidates will have excellent news judgment, a sharp eye for detail, interest in learning about a broad array of topics, the ability to frame articles and write sparkling display copy, and have experience developing trusting relationships with reporters and fellow editors. Visual Editing Residency: One resident in the class will focus on visual and nontraditional forms of journalism. This resident, who will serve on the National desk, will work both on traditional forms of journalism, such as text stories, and nontraditional forms of journalism, such as photo and graphics displays and video. No technical expertise is required, but candidates should demonstrate a strong interest in visual journalism. Ideal candidates will be text editors with at least a grasp of, if not a proficiency in, visual editing principles, such as direction and sequencing.
