Assistant Managing Editor

The Assistant Managing Editor (AME) works in concert with the Managing Editor, overseeing and ensuring the smooth and orderly flow of content from conception to publishing on all platforms.

The AME must possess a solid news sense for a business journal, an ability to make snap judgments about the proper treatment of stories, and a high level of confidence in orchestrating the many simultaneous actions of the newsroom. As a member of the office of the editor (comprised of the Editor-In-Chief, ME and AME), the AME will help ensure audience growth and reporters’ professional development.

In addition to coaching reporters and managing their work, the AME is expected to serve as a backup reporter able to quickly turn around breaking news and augment beat reporters’ work with well-sourced, enterprising stories.

The AME also may serve, at the direction of the Managing Editor, as the editorial department’s liaison with other departments in matters that pertain to awards publications, events, and other cross-departmental activities.
