Newsletter Writer

The Baltimore Banner is looking for an enterprising, creative Newsletter Writer to anchor our flagship daily newsletter The Scan. The ideal candidate will have a knack for spotting the most compelling facts and details, then translating those into useful newsletter briefs that will drive clicks to our website. Voice will be an important tool for the newsletter writer — yes, we report facts, but we’re looking for an emcee to bring people to the party and keep them coming back. Help us build daily habits with readers by being yourself and showing readers what’s special about our journalism.

At its core, this role drives engagement with a valuable segment of readers. Applicants should be comfortable listening to readers, talking to readers and using data to write emails and news alerts that will help us meet our audience goals.

This position reports to the newsletter editor and is part of the audience team. In addition to anchoring the daily newsletter, this person will help refine our existing newsletter portfolio and develop new newsletters. This role includes opportunities to work with the social team and/or to pursue short- and medium-term reporting projects.
