This is one of the most self-starting editing roles in the newsroom. You will be responsible for setting the news agenda for Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. You will be required to manage the curation of our digital platforms throughout the weekend, to commission and edit breaking news stories, and to select the stories for some of our most important daily lineups. You will be responsible for selecting or commissioning our Monday morning lead, an agenda-setting piece of journalism that will start the week. You will be the senior editor in charge at the weekend, with responsibility for signing off the Monday print edition of the Journal.
You will be a seasoned line editor and an all-rounder with the confidence to work on stories from all coverage areas. You will be required to oversee live coverage of political and world events over the weekend.
We are looking for an accomplished journalist with substantial experience editing a wide range of stories, who is comfortable working on everything from a crunchy economic analysis or a breaking corporate story to a world dispatch or a political sketch. A key quality will be the confidence to run the news solo on the weekends while also knowing when to call on senior editors and others in the newsroom for support.
You will work a four-day week, Thursday through Sunday.
You will be based in New York and report to David Crow, the Journal’s executive editor.
