Politics Editor

Texas is the place where politics, social issues and immigration all collide to make for one dynamic place to be a political editor. As such, The Dallas Morning News is seeking an editor who can help our team produce revelatory and impactful journalism about Texas politics, which is often at the forefront of significant issues that play out across our nation. This editor must have a strategic vision for how The Dallas Morning News can set its coverage apart in ways that go deep on the most important issues, drive conversations that help our readers understand and is innovative and informative. This editor will oversee another editor and a team of reporters based in Dallas, Austin and Washington, D.C. The ideal candidate will have experience and interest in growing and developing journalists of varying levels of experience. He or she should be an inclusive political thinker and sensitive to weeding out bias and tone in writing and story ideas.
