They should have the ability to stay organized when several major stories break at the same time. A plane might be attempting an emergency landing while the president is tweeting, and oil suddenly takes a major dip. That’s a Tuesday around here.
Responsibilities of the news editor include but are not limited to:
· Making sure CNBC.com is delivering all the top news of the day.
· Placing articles on the homepages, packaging art and related topics as needed and adjusting headline tone as needed.
· Editing breaking news articles and help reporters and section editors improve their online presentation.
· Writing breaking news as needed.
Qualifications/Requirements
• At least three years of editing experience.
• At least three years of daily homepage management.
Desired Characteristics
Candidates should be accurate, fast and cool under pressure. The job calls for strong news judgment and involves fast-paced editing and directing a rotating team of breaking news reporters.
The weekends, in particular, require a certain passion for news, as we need to cover surprise developments in a wide range of topics.
Detail-oriented planning and on-the-fly news calls make or break this job. Applicants need the ability to stay organized when several major stories break at the same time.
A background in business and/or finance journalism is a major plus. An obsession with AP style and light photo-editing skills help, too.
