Job Description
The New York Times is looking for a lead editor for a newsletter focused on international news, featuring original explanatory journalism and curated Times coverage from around the world, working with other Times newsletters like The Morning.

Responsibilities:
To apply for the job, please submit a memo explaining your vision in one or two pages, along with a list of 10 ideas (a few sentences each) for lead items you would want the newsletter to feature in the coming months. These should be original, sharply defined story ideas, similar to the lead items in The Morning. We want answers, not questions. You should include at least one idea each related to the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars, and the global competition between the U.S and China.
The annual base pay range for this role is between $180,000.00 and $220,000.00.
