Another plus is existing relationships with foreign policy writers and experts.
The role will at times include night, early-morning, and weekend work.
Role and Responsibilities:
  • Assign and edit coverage of major developing stories
  • Spot opportunities to commission original essays and reporting
  • Scout for appropriate contributors when breaking news calls for regional expertise
  • Coordinate with other teams, including art, copy, fact-check, and audience

Skills and Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of editing experience
  • Attention to detail
  • A strong desire to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Excellent collaborative skills

Salary minimum: $85,000; Salary maximum: $100,000

As the third-longest-running magazine in America, we find ourselves at a remarkable moment: one of both continuation and transformation, of upholding our legacy while continuously reinventing ourselves for the future.
