Features and Trending Assistant Managing Editor

Hearst Connecticut Media Group’s journalists cover communities in Fairfield and New Haven Counties and beyond, serving readers across platforms, including our sites, app, newsletters, social media accounts and more for eight daily and 13 weekly newspapers. We’re looking for an enterprising, audience-focused and collaborative Assistant Managing Editor for features and trending at a time when we’re growing digital subscriptions. This player / coach role would oversee a few reporters and also have the opportunity to report and write about the most topical stories of the day in Connecticut. This editor / reporter has an eye for a trend, before it becomes a trend. They have the ability to assign, edit or write stories that are of high interest and often become the source of conversation among readers. Furthermore, the staffer will recognize opportunities to write strong local content, but also stories that will resonate across Connecticut.
