ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network is helping local and regional news organizations produce the kind of accountability reporting that is so vital for our democracy. We are hiring a senior editor to oversee six to seven projects (and the reporters producing them).

The position runs through December 2020.

The selected editor will have the responsibility to guide, edit and elevate the work of our local partners, working collaboratively with editors in their newsrooms. As with all our work at ProPublica, the job is ultimately to create compelling investigations that spur change.

What you would be doing:
Overseeing half a dozen reporters, each at different newsrooms.
Working in collaboration with the partner newsrooms to execute stories that can take a variety of forms, from newspaper-style takeouts to magazine, radio and TV pieces.
Coordinating with a team at ProPublica that includes research, data, news applications, engagement, audience development and design to elevate your projects.

We’re looking for someone who:
Has a track record of landing revelatory stories about abuses of power.
Aches to tell stories that are both important and powerfully told.
Has experience with — and an appetite for — collaborating with other newsrooms.
Is truly excited about all the possible ways we can do journalism nowadays: from deep data-digging to working with readers to marrying narrative and investigative forms.
We know there are great candidates who won’t fit everything we’ve described above, or who have important skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.

We are dedicated to improving our newsroom, in part by better reflecting the people we cover. (Here is a breakdown of our staff.)

We are committed to diversity and building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and ages. And we are taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.

We are looking for a new member to join us in New York to work on content for the magazine, the website, social media, and other channels. We are a small team that does big things and have a flat organizational structure. So, depending on your skills and experience, we can basically offer you the full range of content disciplines, from supporting senior staff to covering new product releases, reviews and conducting interviews to writing features for the magazine and covering events.
You definitely don't need to be a watchmaker or heavy-weight watch collector, but a passion for watches, mechanics, lifestyle etc. is highly valued. Huge plus if you already maintain your own blog or active social media page and know how to work with a camera. In short, we are looking for someone who lives and breathes great, engaging content, wants to work in a fully integrated print and digital multi-discipline team and grow with us.

- Excellent writing and editing skills
- Social media savviness
- Beginner/Intermediate proficiency with Photoshop (photo cropping/editing)
- Experience with WordPress a plus
- Basic SEO understanding
