Editor
New York OR Los Angeles

On-site
The Free Press is growing fast. We need experienced editors who can respond quickly to news events, craft smart stories, and get the best out of writers. You may be a newspaper editor used to daily deadlines. You might be a magazine editor with a gift for narrative, hungry to tell stories beyond the mission of your current outlet. Or you might be someone who has done both—and is simply craving a new challenge.
Requirements
- If this sounds like you, here are the criteria to apply:
- At least five years working as an editor. You must also be currently working as an editor at a newspaper, magazine, news show, or other outlet.
- A background that demonstrates you have worked on tight deadlines and can do work that is both excellent and fast.
- A passion for The Free Press: you’ve read our stories, you understand our mission, and you know just how you can bring value to our team.
- An ability to coach writers—especially writers just getting started in their careers—helping them deliver their best work.
- Eagerness to work in a start-up environment. You aren’t just breaking news; you are building a newsroom. Our team is composed of people who are enthusiastic, nimble, and collaborative.
- If you’re interested, please send a short cover letter explaining why you’re the right fit; a handful of ideas (of new writers we should be engaging or stories we should be covering); and your résumé.
$150,000 - $200,000 a year
