News Editor

The News Editor is a key leadership role on a team of journalists focused on empowering healthcare leaders to improve patient care. This editor is responsible for guiding reporters on daily coverage and enterprise articles for print and online—including features and news analysis. The news editor will work alongside the other Modern Healthcare editors — managing editor, digital and managing editor— as well as our Editor. Together, this group will use audience behavior data to decide on all editorial content being produced, as well as what distribution platforms (digital, print, networks, etc.) to leverage in the promotion of that work. This editor will guide reporting with a specific national audience of healthcare leaders in mind, helping steer story selection and development, using data to break new ground in reporting, identifying opportunities to create leadership development content for print, while helping bring fresh business-focused angles to healthcare news, current events and policy. This editor will help line edit web news briefs on a daily basis. This editor also will assist in the conceptualization of our awards and recognition programs and lead the editing of this content. These are very visible, esteemed honors for industry leaders that the newsroom each year strives to improve upon when assigning profiles and trend stories related to the programs.
