What is architectural journalism?

Architectural Journalism is a specialized field that focuses on writing, reporting, and analyzing topics related to architecture, design, and urban planning. Professionals in this field create content for magazines, websites, newspapers, and other media platforms, translating complex architectural concepts into accessible narratives. They may cover topics such as architectural trends, critiques of buildings, interviews with industry experts, and urban development issues. This role requires a strong understanding of architecture, excellent writing skills, and the ability to engage both professionals and the general public.

Daily tasks might involve site visits, interviewing professionals, attending industry events, and writing articles or producing multimedia content for print or digital platforms. Many roles involve working independently but also require collaboration with editors, photographers, and publications teams. This dynamic blend of research, reporting, and storytelling makes the field both intellectually stimulating and creatively rewarding.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in architectural journalism?

To succeed in architectural journalism, a combination of excellent writing skills, strong architectural knowledge (often backed by a degree in architecture, design, or journalism), and the ability to critically analyze spaces is vital. Familiarity with publication software, digital content management systems, and sometimes graphic design or photography tools is commonly necessary. Attention to detail, curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to simplify complex architectural concepts make professionals stand out in this niche. These skills and qualities are crucial for accurately informing and engaging audiences while maintaining credibility in the field.

Job description

Join the future of news
We're on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you'll help reinvent news. Our work is driven by a deep investigative spirit and enhanced by innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most.
About Our Team
The Washington Post is powered by the passion and talent of our people. It takes all of us to reinvent news. Beyond our award-winning Newsroom and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand & Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering & Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing & Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales.
Why This Role Matters
The Washington Post Opinions team is seeking a highly connected and intellectually curious Guest Producer to identify, cultivate, and book compelling voices for our growing audio and video programming.
This role will partner closely with opinion journalists, editors, and producers to source, pitch and book guests operating at the intersection of technology, politics, business, culture, and public policy - founders, investors, policy architects, journalists, researchers, creators, podcasters and more. Successful candidates will possess exceptional relationship-building skills, strong editorial judgment, and a deep understanding of the digital media ecosystem.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable tracking breaking news, cultivating industry relationships, evaluating audience interest, and identifying emerging voices before they become widely known. They understand how to balance audience appeal with substantive expertise and can help build a diverse pipeline of guests who contribute meaningful, engaging conversations.
What Motivates You
  • You are energized by the opportunity to help build innovative, digital-first journalism products and experiences.
  • You enjoy discovering emerging voices, thought leaders, and influential creators before they become mainstream.
  • You thrive on building and maintaining trusted professional relationships.
  • You are intellectually curious and stay informed on developments across technology, politics, media, and public policy.
  • You excel in fast-paced environments and can manage multiple priorities with strong attention to detail.
  • You enjoy collaborating with journalists and helping translate editorial goals into compelling guest opportunities.

How You'll Support The Mission
  • Own the guest booking lifecycle from initial identification and outreach through confirmation, preparation, appearance, and ongoing relationship management.
  • Develop and maintain a robust pipeline of prospective guests, including founders, executives, investors, policymakers, journalists, researchers, creators, and other influential voices.
  • Monitor the technology, politics, media, and creator economy landscapes to identify emerging trends, conversations, and talent opportunities.
  • Evaluate audience engagement trends across podcasts, YouTube, newsletters, and other digital platforms to inform guest selection strategies.
  • Respond quickly to breaking news and emerging developments by identifying relevant and timely guest opportunities.
  • Build and maintain productive relationships with communications professionals, talent representatives, podcast producers, creators, and subject matter experts.
  • Prepare concise and actionable briefing materials that provide relevant background, previous public statements, key perspectives, and areas for further exploration.
  • Collaborate closely with editors, producers, and opinion journalists to align guest recommendations with editorial priorities and audience interests.
  • Recommend both established and emerging voices, using sound editorial judgment to balance reach, expertise, and originality.
  • Track booking activity, maintain guest records, and manage multiple concurrent booking and production timelines.

The Skills and Experience You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
  • 2-5 years of experience in guest booking, talent relations, production, journalism, podcasting, digital media, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated understanding of the podcast, YouTube, and digital creator ecosystems.
  • Knowledge of current events, particularly within technology, politics, public policy, media, and business.
  • Strong editorial instincts and the ability to identify guests who will resonate with engaged audiences.
  • Experience building and maintaining professional relationships with high-profile guests, representatives, and industry stakeholders.
  • Excellent research, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Strong written communication skills, including the ability to prepare briefing documents and background research.
  • Sound judgment, initiative, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience booking guests for podcasts, digital video programs, livestreams, or broadcast media.
  • Existing network of contacts within technology, policy, journalism, media, or creator communities.
  • Experience supporting long-form interview formats and opinion-focused content.

Collaboration makes us stronger. That's why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.
Compensation and Benefits
Wherever you are in your life or career, The Washington Post offers comprehensive and inclusive benefits for every step of your journey:
  • Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage
  • Company-paid pension and 401(k) match
  • Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave
  • Nine paid holidays and two personal days
  • 20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent
  • Robust mental health resources
  • Backup care and caregiver concierge services
  • Gender affirming services
  • Pet insurance
  • Free Post digital subscription
  • Leadership and career development programs

Benefits may vary based on the job, full-time or part-time schedule, location, and collectively bargained status.
The salary range for this position is:
$82,600 - $123,800 Annual
The actual salary within this range will depend on individual skills, experience, and qualifications as they relate to specific job requirements. This position may be eligible for a bonus or incentive program, and a member of the Talent Acquisition team will discuss bonus payment terms and conditions during the interview process.
