The mission at Thrillist’s core over the past 10 years has been to help people enjoy their cities, and the infinite options they hold, the best we possibly can. Often, this involves grilled cheese, which is good. We’re looking for a CITIES EDITOR who can manage and guide freelancers in multiple cities across the US and world, and work with them to constantly produce engaging, exciting, stomach-warming stories locals love.

- Work closely with freelancers in an open-dialogue back-and-forth editing environment to help them grow as writers
- Create something DIFFERENT. Lots of people write lots of things in lots of cities; we want you to figure out a million fantastic, groundbreaking ways to approach them and set Thrillist apart from the field.
- Write some of that stuff yourself, too! You’re also smart and have stuff to say. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. We swear your mom did not write this.
- Work efficiently in our CMS and know all its ins and outs, as well as our freelancer workflow system
- Encourage freelancers to pitch and give them the feedback they need to learn and understand our editorial plan so that you can effectively draw the best possible ideas out of the people who truly understand what makes their city tick and what's happening in it.
- Push writers to promote stories in creative fashion using social media and whatever the hell will swallow our lives after social media
- Outline and execute a vision for reaching new, diverse audiences, using Google Analytics and Chartbeat to inform strategy

Qualifications:
- A Bachelor's Degree and 3+ years of digital writing/editing experience
- Must have experience multi-tasking and tracking many projects simultaneously
- A palpitating desire to work with writers to make them better (including the one who wrote “palpitating desire”)
- A proven ability to get viral traffic
- Must have a strong, creative eye for images that work with a story and will sell it on social
- Must be comfortable leveraging data to develop audience loyalty
- Must have strong interpersonal skills, and must be comfortable receiving constructive criticism
- Strong social media presence -- apparently people are starting to like Instagram and Twitter and stuff

Do you love digging up facts, then writing a story that demands to be read?

Do you end up on the front page because of how well you report and write your stories?

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, located in the center of the Natural State, is looking for reporters who can skillfully cover breaking news on deadline as well as craft non-deadline must-reads.

We want a self-starter who wants to land on the front page, whether with a single byline or as part of a team.

We're looking for someone who:
-- Aggressively pursues deadline and non-deadline stories.
-- Is eager to get out of the office and find stories.
-- Can mine public records and computerized data for deep-impact stories that affect real people.
-- Never settles for “good enough.”
-- Strives to serve the reader first.

We are based in Little Rock, the Arkansas capital, but cover the entire state and, if the story warrants, we go beyond Arkansas' borders. We take pride in the journalism we practice and are looking for people who want to hone their skills.

Outstanding research and writing skills are required.

You Will:

An Ideas Person: You are naturally creative and enjoy brainstorming. When you look at a story in the headlines, you can see 10 more angles to cover in it. You also think bigger: Packages, franchises, partnerships and more.
A Dogged Reporter: You’re eager to sink your teeth into a beat, develop sources, and ply those sources for unique stories that haven’t been covered before or new angles on old stories. You’re a natural skeptic, who’s always thinking,

“What’s this person’s agenda?"

Passionate about Money's Personal Finance Focus: You intuitively understand the deeply emotional side of personal finance issues ranging from spending and retirement planning to debt and college savings.
