WSJ seeks editor for Real Time Economics

The Wall Street Journal is seeking an editor to help redesign, relaunch and manage the Journal’s Real Time Economics digital site.

The new RTE will become the Journal’s showcase for economic news, analysis, and commentary, much of it delivered in nontraditional formats, with a heavy emphasis on data and graphics. Joining the team when the new platform is still in incubation, the RTE editor will play a central and innovative role launching and then running a fluid and dynamic site in a highly competitive environment.

The editor will conceive coverage, shape stories and graphics and work with the Journal’s far-flung cast of economic reporters in the U.S. and around the world. The ideal candidate will bring experience in news writing and editing, preferably with some experience in economics coverage, along with a background tailoring and presenting news for a digital audience. A zest for collaboration, energy and fresh thinking is critical.

The job will be based in Washington as a central part of the Journal’s expanding economics team.
