Remote Application Support Jobs in Duarte, CA (NOW HIRING)

About the Role

Marketplace and American Public Media recently formed the Public Radio Business

Network to deepen our editorial relationships with our 800+ partner stations. The network is designed to prioritize collaboration, add a local lens to the economic storytelling audiences rely on and amplify regional content for Marketplace shows. We are looking for an experienced collaborative multichannel leader who wants to build something new and help the public media ecosystem thrive.

Deeply embedded with the Marketplace newsroom, the Station Engagement Editor will serve as a bridge between stations and their reporting staff and Marketplace's national newsroom. Through regular editorial collaborations, shared reporting efforts and special content partnerships, this role will help bring local economic stories to national audiences while helping participating stations strengthen the regional reporting they provide to their communities.

This position will also partner with APM Distribution and other internal teams to identify regions and stations with limited capacity for local economic reporting, strengthen reporting resources where possible and support sustainable editorial collaborations. As we gain a deeper understanding of station needs, the Station Engagement Editor will also serve as a creative guide for new content that supports and draws on the network. Rooted in audio and the needs of our partner stations across the country, this work will create meaningful multi-platform programming, which is critical to establishing sustainable revenue for stations.
