The Wall Street Journal is seeking a News Editor to manage the daily journalism of our WSJ. Magazine & Style coverage area, including handling fast-turn-around breaking stories, top-quality beat coverage, memorable long-lead features and sharp analysis pieces.
The position will help oversee the daily activities of a small team of reporters and help run the nuts-and-bolts of digital-first publishing at the center of our Style coverage. It requires working closely with the News & Features Directors and other stakeholders to set priorities and ensure that stories are lively, dominant and maximally engaging our audience.
You will work with another editor to polish the reporting and set it up to reach the widest possible audience with the best possible headlines, social and alert language. You will push the entire team to explore new formats. You will come with dozens and dozens of witty, stylish, brainy and irresistible story ideas for short-lead or long-lead publishing opportunities.
WSJ. Magazine and the Journal’s Style team blend deep reporting, intelligent wit and good taste to create compulsively readable spot stories, analysis and features on the subjects of style, entertainment, celebrity, society, lifestyle and the arts. Your work for this team will have a vivid lens on culture, style and fashion — with a fast-paced, robustly reported execution.
