Deputy News Director
BuzzFeed

  • Project Details
    Our Internet Media Company is hiring a Deputy News Director on its Breaking news team to help lead its coverage of the biggest news of the day and week, may they be happening online or IRL.The deputy news director role is one of the most dynamic at BuzzFeed News. It involves assigning coverage, line editing, big picture editing, developing coverage strategy and story ideas, managing and developing a team of reporters, helping launch new initiatives for the Breaking team at large, and serving as a leader for other desks around the newsroom. In one week you could be at the helm of our coverage of a devastating hurricane, the next week you could be guiding reporters on the ground for a series of pieces on a building collapse, the next you could be navigating coverage of the latest meme, the next you could be shepherding an investigation into working conditions on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Throughout it all, the deputy director should be comfortable guiding coverage in the moment and advancing the sharp and thoughtful questions and angles that could lead to exclusive, creative, or truly distinct coverage. This desk is smart about the pitfalls of breaking news reporting in the internet age — such as running too quickly with assumptions — and this editor should be able to avoid them.The deputy director has to develop a strong sense of the BuzzFeed News reader, and how we serve them, balancing the news of the day with the news of the week and month. What story is one-and-done? What needs followup? What needs a drumbeat of reporting? What should be a deeper dive? The person also has to embrace BuzzFeed News’s voice — we don’t mince words, we speak the language of the internet, and we can be witty and funny.
