  • Work with editors on inventive on-site and social formats that align with Opinion's mission and identity
  • Maintain broad knowledge of the social media landscape and be aware of new platform trends as they change
  • Be open to working with a diversity of voices and viewpoints
  • You will report to the Deputy Editor, Opinion Video
  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Eagerness to experiment with different forms of vertical and mobile visual storytelling
  • Strong writing and editing skills
  • Demonstrated success in the creation of innovative journalism in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience working in a newsroom or similar environment

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of Times style (or the ability to absorb and apply it quickly)

  • Excellent news judgment with a passion for news, The Times and its journalistic mission
