This is an exciting opportunity for someone with high-level editing skills and a passion for live events. At Semafor we are focused on keeping extremely high standards of intelligence and quality in our live journalism, and this role is primarily focused on live journalism in Washington and around the world — but also includes editing ambitious business and technology coverage.
As Deputy Editor across our Live Journalism business, you will work closely with Semafor’s editorial and live journalism teams to integrate your live event contributions with our broader editorial strategy. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of how Washington policy affects business and technology, as well as a comfort level editing stories about finance and technology. And the editor in this role will ideally have senior contacts in the corporate world and in government who can contribute to our events, which have featured global leaders, cabinet secretaries, and CEOs of major corporations.
You will also help edit and produce our agenda-setting newsletters, ensuring they are must reads for decision makers in those sectors. The reporting teams are led by seasoned, thoughtful journalists who deliver sharp insights and break stories on the biggest news happening on their beats.
This job is about 75% focused on live journalism, and 25% focused on traditional editing.
