About The Position

As an Editor-at-Large, you will coordinate with reporters, editors, and outside authors to direct work and boost the quality of our writing, contributed content, and idea development.

• Knowledge of digital news and information publishing operations.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, and ability to apply those skills under tight deadlines.
• Strong and thoughtful decision-making capabilities.
• A desire to develop relationships and influence news reporting and editing on a large scale.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate with reporters, editors, and outside authors to produce stories that inform and delight our audiences.
• Exercise independent judgment and manage stories from pitch to publication, improve stories post-publication as necessary.
• Coordinate coverage with a focus on finding news insights and breaking news that contributes to the news team’s strategy and improves writing and reporting skills when possible.
• Help manage assignments as necessary and deliver feedback on stories and reporting that is constructive and thoughtful, often on tight deadlines.
• Drive staff to try new things and continue digging into big stories.
• Exemplify professionalism and news judgment as an editor and provide continuity across the newsroom.
