New Republic

The New Republic is looking for an experienced full-time copy editor to edit The TNR Blue Book, our new morning newsletter devoted to covering Democrats and progressive groups, and other editorial newsletters, while supporting our current copy editor on NewRepublic.com as needed.
The ideal candidate is a fast, careful editor with a sharp eye for detail who can seamlessly pivot between newsletter production, marketing emails, and news. The candidate should be organized and know how to prioritize assignments and manage their schedule.
Additional Requirements:

• At least seven years of copyediting experience, preferably at a news website or magazine.
• Experience with basic fact-checking.
• Familiarity with AP style and the ability to help maintain TNR's style guide while designing effective systems to update staff of both house and AP style changes.
• Comfort learning third-party applications, building editorial newsletters, and managing newsletter production and distribution to subscribers.

To apply, please submit your résumé and a cover letter explaining why you're the right candidate to copyedit The TNR Blue Book, Fighting Words, and Power Mad, and our online news coverage. Candidates will be required to complete a copyediting test prior to interviews.
This is a full-time position. Please note the unique hours: Because The TNR Blue Book goes out early to subscribers and some fresh content is produced in the early morning, the hours for this position are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.-3 p.m. The minimum salary for this role is $66,000.
The position is covered by the collective-bargaining agreement between The New Republic and The NewsGuild of New York, CWA Local 31003, AFL-CIO.
The New Republic is committed to diversity and encourages members of underrepresented communities to apply, including women, LGBTQ people, people of color, people with criminal records, veterans, and people with disabilities.
