Job Description

Summary/Objective

We’re looking for an energetic and aggressive journalist who combines strong news judgment and quick decision-making skills with the kind of teaching/coaching approach to editing that turns promising reporters into great ones.

Essential Functions

You’ll work with reporters and editors on the breaking news team and across the newsroom — as well as visual journalists and our audience engagement team —to handle the biggest breaking news stories of the day.

Convince us you are a phenom at making things happen -- and someone who is always looking for answers, rather than explaining why things can’t be done.
