The National Audubon Society is a nonprofit conservation organization that protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Together as one Audubon, we aspire to alter the course of climate change and habitat loss, leading to healthier bird populations and reversing current trends in biodiversity loss.
Audubon magazine has an exciting full-time opening for a journalist to join our editorial team as Associate Editor, working on both digital stories for Audubon.org and our quarterly print magazine.
As the flagship publication of the National Audubon Society, our reporting both celebrates our fascination with birds and probes pressing planetary issues, including biodiversity loss, habitat conservation, climate change, and more. The magazine also emphasizes, through stories and visuals, the importance of a diverse and inclusive science and conservation effort to help meet the challenges facing birds and people today. In 2021, Audubon won a National Magazine Award for “General Excellence”—the highest honor in the magazine industry—for our exceptional work across platforms, plus received a nomination for the past five consecutive years.
We envision this position as a combined writing and editing role. The initial split between reporting and writing vs. assigning and editing is flexible and will be determined in collaboration with the Associate Editor. This position is a fantastic opportunity for a versatile reporter and strong writer who is excited about taking on more editing duties, with mentorship from more senior editors on staff. We welcome applicants with prior editing experience, but that is not required, and we don’t want a lack of editing experience to discourage interested journalists from applying.
This role can be remote or based out of our NYHQ.
