Job Description:
Evening News Editor
The Wall Street Journal is looking for an autonomous senior editor to ensure our evening news offering is best-in-class. The evening news editor will work with editors and reporters across the newsroom to deliver fast, authoritative breaking news while also helming developing stories to ensure we deliver throughout the evening for our readers.
This is one of the most self-starting editing roles in the newsroom. You will be required to manage the curation of our digital platforms in the evening, to commission and edit breaking news stories, and to make additions and changes to our daily lineups.
You will be a seasoned line editor and an all-rounder with the confidence to work on stories from all coverage areas. You will be required to oversee live coverage of political and world events during the evening.
We are looking for an accomplished journalist with substantial experience editing a wide range of stories, who is comfortable working on everything from a crunchy economic analysis or a breaking corporate story to a world dispatch or a political sketch. A key quality will be the confidence to run the news solo during the evenings while also knowing when to call on senior editors and others in the newsroom for support.
You will work a four-evening week, Monday through Thursday.
You will be based in New York and report to David Crow, the Journal's executive editor.
