About The Position
Reuters is seeking an editor to run its Washington news report and broader U.S. news report through weekend hours, including serving as a backup editor for our White House coverage team, during a consequential and newsy period. The editor will work closely with reporters and other editors to chase spot stories and deliver scoops primarily on Washington news and the Trump administration, with a secondary focus on general news from across the United States. The position requires strong news judgment, strong writing and editing ability, and experience covering the biggest and fastest-moving stories. A strong commitment to speed, flexibility at working with various beat reporters and strong organizational and planning skills are a must. The ability to work closely with visual journalists on spot coverage is important. The job will have a four-day work week, Friday-Monday, with Friday largely spent editing stories and planning, Saturday-Sunday spent running spot and beat coverage and Monday used to ensure strong carryover of coverage into a new week. The job is based in Washington, with the successful candidate working in the office a minimum Friday and Monday to collaborate with colleagues and another day over the weekend.
