The New Republic: Temporary Editor (4M FTC/Remote avalible)

Copywriter is needed in Washington, United States.

The New Republic is looking for a Temporary Editor. This job has been crawled from the web.

Location: Washington, DC (Remote Available)

Contract: Full-time, 4 Month Contract

Each week, you will be expected to edit at least five pieces for the website—from the two full-time writers you’ll manage (one climate writer and one politics writer), plus freelancers in your Rolodex. While the editor will collaborate with others across the newsroom, we’re looking for a strong leader who can work this vertical autonomously, reporting to both the executive editor and digital director.

This is a full-time position, beginning in mid-June and lasting four months. TNR has offices in New York and Washington, D.C., but there is no in-office requirement. While candidates can be located anywhere in the country, only those who reside in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, D.C., Maryland, or Virginia, are eligible for paid benefits.

Please include a résumé, samples of recent editing work, and a memo telling us how you would approach this job, including three story ideas—and the writers who would tackle them—that you’d commission immediately. Only candidates who submit cover letters and work samples will be considered. Candidates will be required to take an editing test.

The New Republic is committed to diversity and encourages members of underrepresented communities to apply, including women, LGBTQ people, people of color, people with criminal records, veterans, and people with disabilities.
