Classical Radio Jobs (NOW HIRING)

You're a talented and curious digital journalist who's ready to take on a leadership role in a vibrant, collaborative newsroom. As the digital news editor for Nashville Public Radio, you'll help our award-winning local journalism shine on the web, on social media and in our daily newsletter, the NashVillager.
This is a dotted line supervisory-level position for someone who has a vision for how reporters and editors should engage with audiences online. How should we adjust our workflow to put the audience first, regardless of platform? Which communities are we missing, and how do we build news products to serve them? How can we better engage with the people who depend on us?
You'll be our lead strategist managing our homepage and newsletter and will take the lead on establishing our voice on social media. You'll work closely with reporters to plan and polish their web stories, and you'll regularly write stories and newsletters. You'll oversee and edit the NashVillager with an eye for what our audience needs each day. And, you'll manage direct reports.
So, we're looking for someone who has:

• A collaborative spirit and excellent communication. In this intersectional role, you'll interact with everyone in the newsroom and many people in other departments. You're able to communicate your ideas in a way that encourages others to row in the same direction, and you value feedback.
• A passion for reaching new audiences and those who've been historically underserved by public radio. Your previous projects have helped newsrooms connect with new audiences and communities of color, among others.
• Demonstrated leadership and coaching skills. Reporters will look to you for guidance on managing priorities, shaping stories and using digital platforms effectively.
• Proven excellence in online storytelling, nuanced editorial judgement and a precise editing eye.
• A strong sense of visual layout (graphic design experience a plus).
• The ability (and proclivity) to nerd out about all things digital. This includes a knowledge of how the web works! You aren't afraid of a little HTML.

What do we offer? A competitive salary. Great benefits. A Peabody and Murrow Award-winning newsroom filled with dynamic colleagues who care about each other. We also care deeply about this region and the diverse religious, ethnic, immigrant and artistic communities within it. We don't live in Nashville just because there's great live music (though there is) or beautiful hiking trails (though there are). We're here because we value telling Middle Tennessee's stories and making it a better place through our coverage.
