Texas’ population just crossed the 30 million mark and demographers predict it’ll grow to nearly 40 million by 2036 — the equivalent of adding a city the size of Austin every year for the next decade. That explosive growth touches every facet of life for those living, working and playing here, as well as the soon-to-arrive transplants. The impact of such growth raises serious questions about access, equity and resources.
For business journalists, there’s no better place in the nation to be stationed. Dallas-Fort Worth is home to two dozen Fortune 500 companies, nearly 80 publicly traded companies with more than $1 billion in revenue, two major airports and two of the industry’s biggest airlines, five major league sports teams and literally thousands of other firms representing every segment of the economy.
We’re looking for an editor who can lead a team of skilled business reporters to connect and dissect these topics into urgent, aggressive and revelatory journalism that illuminates the challenges ahead for our region.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working with data and records, have a strong understanding of social media and digital metrics, and have a passion for growing our online audience. The ability to manage a team to produce a balance of enterprise and daily news coverage is a must-have trait.
This editor will oversee one of the largest regional business news teams in the country. You will be supported by an assistant editor and manage 10 reporters covering real estate, retail, transportation, airlines, diverse communities, health and breaking/trending business news.
This editor must have impeccable news judgment, strong leadership and organizational skills and the ability to manage change. In addition, this leader should be devoted to the growth and development of all News staffers and to DEI efforts.
Responsibilities and duties:
A diverse newsroom best serves our community that fosters an inclusive work environment for people from all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, age, or sexual orientation.
