News Editor
- Manage and direct a small team of reporters as they produce original journalism and cover breaking news on the fight for U.S. democracy.
- Identify key storylines and opportunities for enterprise reporting, and assign them to reporters.
- Guide reporters through the news-gathering process — pushing for scoops, suggesting new angles, discussing ideas, etc.
- Quickly sharpen drafts of stories and newsletters to make the finished product even stronger — including by asking for more reporting when needed.
- Closely monitor the news to help ensure we are covering key developments.
- Contribute bold, engaging headlines and ledes that don’t shy away from calling out efforts to undermine democracy.
- Collaborate with Democracy Docket’s Social, Video, and Growth teams on promotion and other organizational goals.
- Work closely with Democracy Docket’s Managing Editor and existing News Editor to ensure our coverage is timely, accurate, and provides maximum value to our readers.
- Experience managing reporters and assigning stories in a fast-paced news environment.
- Strong news judgment and an understanding of how to plan ahead to deploy reporting resources to cover major, ongoing stories.
- A solid grasp of national politics and policy. Experience as an editor or reporter on voting and democracy stories is a huge plus.
- Skill in quickly and confidently line-editing a draft to make it as compelling as possible — including recognizing what it still needs.
- Some schedule flexibility, including being able to work some evening/weekend hours, especially in the run-up to elections.
- Concern about the dangers U.S. democracy currently faces, and an eagerness to contribute to the fight to protect and strengthen it.
