The associate editor will edit all types of stories – from short op-eds to lengthy essays and investigative pieces — and will handle all steps in the process: pitching story ideas and responding to pitches from writers, editing and rewriting stories, writing hedlines, working with copy editors on the final versions, finding photos to illustrate the stories, and posting stories on the magazine’s website. The associate editor will also help recruit writers and contribute ideas for improving the magazine’s writing and visual style, and for building our audience and increasing our impact.
Our stories are written from a market-oriented, classical liberal perspective and our aim is to explain and promote a discussion of important issues to a wide audience. The associate editor must be aligned with this mission.
