Daily News Editor

New Posted 14 November 2022 | Remote | Reckon

This is a US remote-based position. In the past few years, younger Americans have brought renewed energy and focus to the reckonings with justice, equity and power. Reckon has been there, covering those movements, issues and perspectives and shining a light on the people in the South and elsewhere. Now, we’re elevating our work to a national stage, and Reckon is looking for an editor to supervise coverage of our daily news report, finding and assigning stories that are trending across the country so that Reckon is part of those stories for our audiences on a daily basis. This person should have their pulse on what our audiences care about daily and where they look to find it, cultivating and assigning quick turnaround stories to staffers and across a contributor network. And they should be comfortable with curation, aggregation, trending topics on social media, SEO and programming a daily newsletter with stories that speak to our audiences. This role is key to developing and growing our brand across the country. With at least one-year management/supervisory experience, this editor should be comfortable with leading a team driving discoverability and readership through its content. This editor’s focus is general assignment within the topics, trends and beats Reckon seeks to develop expertise around.
