About The Position
The War Horse is seeking a creative, energetic, and collaborative Newsletter & Audience Engagement Editor to join our versatile, data-driven team. This role is pivotal in helping us grow and diversify our newsroom's audience, working closely with journalists across our virtual newsroom to enhance the reach and impact of our journalism. The ideal candidate will possess a passion for news and data, a flair for story packaging, and strong communication skills. Your mission will be to disseminate The War Horse's world-changing reporting projects to the broadest audience possible and inspire civic engagement across the United States. Since its inception in 2015, The War Horse has emerged as a national leader in the military and reporting communities, creating international headlines and influencing changes to military and federal laws. Our work has been recognized in prestigious publications such as Vanity Fair and the Center for Investigative Reporting. We are supported by a diverse group of donors, including Fortune 100 companies, Ivy League universities, and leading foundations committed to journalism, democracy, and military families. Our newsroom is more than just a reporting entity; it is a platform for voices affected by U.S. military policies, showcased through our personal essays known as “reflections.” These reflections are integral to our writers program and stem from our writing seminars, which focus on community-building and training the next generation of writers. As the Newsletter & Audience Engagement Editor, you will report to the Managing Editor and play a crucial role in producing quality journalism while expanding its impact to new audiences and donors. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute significantly to a small newsroom with ambitious goals and a proven track record of success.
