Overview
Editors at KQED work with teams of journalists to produce news and feature content that informs and connects with our audience in a timely fashion. They are key team members that can, but don’t always, manage small teams. Editors are expected to foster creative approaches to telling the daily, weekly and monthly news, while not overlooking trends and unusual content that make our coverage and region unique in the nation.Editors work in collaboration with other journalists to provide coverage of significant issues, assigning and editing daily news and in-depth features and projects. They work with many different colleagues in the newsroom and assist in all aspects of news production on multiple platforms.
KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.
We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.
