The Associate Editor is a critical player in planning and producing the weekly print product, and contributes to both weekly and daily publishing cycles in multiple ways: helping plan and execute special publications and special reports; content and copy editing, recruiting and coordinating with freelancers, and serving as a backup for others on the editing team.
The Associate Editor is able to effectively reformat, reuse, reshape and rewrite, when necessary, digital content for the weekly print product, using innovative storytelling, inventive layouts, and ambitious concepts. The Associate Editor also is charged with merging weekly specially themed sections with the core weekly print product and digital content.
