Our Digital team is looking for an experienced editor to join its platforms and social team. The editor will be focused on curating MSNBC’s homepage, but as a part of the platforms and social team will write headlines, SEO and social posts, and distribute content to partners such as Smartnews and Flipboard. The ideal candidate will be a politics and breaking news junkie and have experience programming digital platforms for a major news organization. They will know what drives audiences to read stories and watch video on desktop and mobile. They need to be a talented headline writer, have a passion for analytics and SEO and have strong news judgment.This position requires the ability to make decisions under pressure and to change footing quickly and multitask when news breaks. The editor needs to show immaculate attention to detail, as well as a sense for the mix — balance, diversity and tone — of videos and articles on MSNBC.com and its social accounts. The candidate must also have the skillset of a frontline news editor: a breadth of knowledge about national and international stories, an ability to copy edit and experience with digital publishing in a content management system.This position is represented by the NewsGuild-CWA and is based in New York but candidates from around the country will be considered.
