Assistant Local News Editor
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is seeking an editor to help guide our local news coverage and work with reporters to produce urgent, engaging and enterprising content. You will help plan daily coverage, oversee breaking news stories and oversee long-term investigative projects for all of our platforms, including digital and print.
The ideal candidate will have experience managing a team, helping sharpen reporters' writing and developing coverage plans. We want someone who is equally adept at working in a fast-paced environment, fielding breaking news, as well as developing strong enterprise ideas.
We also expect a digital focus, with, for example, strong headline and SEO skills. Strong time-management skills, the ability to work on tight deadlines and the ability to collaborate with other editors are musts.
We are the leading news organization in the St. Louis region, but we want someone who can help us continue to elevate our local news coverage. This is a chance to help push the Post-Dispatch/stltoday.com to become even more urgent, more relevant and more enterprising.
