Local Accountability Editor

The Miami Herald is looking for an editor with a passion for accountability journalism and the ability to elevate the work of a talented team of local reporters. This editor will supervise some of our premier local beats, including the cities of Miami and Miami Beach. Watchdog work is the core of this team’s mission, and we seek an editor who is hungry to dig deeper and deliver journalism with impact. This editor should have the instincts and skills to identify our strongest prospects for high-relevance, high-impact local reporting. Our goal is not to chronicle governments in action, but to hold those governments accountable on the issues that matter most to our readers. This position is critical to the Miami Herald’s longstanding tradition of dynamic investigative reporting. This editor can expect to collaborate closely with other editors in our newsroom, including our investigations editor.
