Managing Correspondent, On Politics

The New York Times is looking for an entrepreneurial journalist to reimagine, reinvent and relaunch the On Politics newsletter, an important franchise and a vital centerpiece of and showcase for Times political coverage with a vast audience of paying subscribers. After a hiatus of several months, we are preparing to reboot the On Politics newsletter to give readers a sophisticated and innovative guide to the 2024 election cycle and to political news in Washington and across the nation.

This is a premier platform for a stellar political journalist with excellent news judgment, the ability to report at a high level and conceive of new story forms on the fly. The newsletter allows its author to work at a wide variety of speeds (landing scoops, writing with humor, crafting choice features), strike a conversational tone while conveying the authority and objectivity of The Times and collaborate with colleagues across the organization. The ideal candidate will be able to sustain a rigorous pace over the course of the 2024 presidential campaign.
