Investigative Editor

In These Times, a national, monthly magazine that has covered politics and social movements from the left since 1976, is seeking a full-time investigative editor. The editor will work primarily on stories for In These Times’ Leonard C. Goodman Institute for Investigative Reporting, which offers competitive rates to support ambitious investigations to be published in In These Times and InTheseTimes.com. The Institute has made a name for itself uncovering corporate wrongdoing, exposing the toll of U.S. warmongering, and telling the stories of low-wage workers, Native people and others to whom the mainstream media gives short shrift. The editor will be responsible for managing all aspects of an investigation, from writer recruitment and story selection to publication and promotion, as well as co-administering the Institute with In These Times’ Executive Editor. The Goodman Institute supports both early-career and established investigative reporters; the investigative editor should be adept at calibrating their editing to the author’s experience level. They must be adept in offering different modes of support — giving pep talks, planning reporting trips, navigating legal difficulties, steering out of rabbit holes, calling it when an investigation has reached a dead end, and rolling up their sleeves and collaborating as needed.
