National News Editor, Evenings, CNN Digital (Temporary)
Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America

Every great story has a new beginning. We're excited to announce that Discovery and WarnerMedia have combined to become Warner Bros. Discovery. WBD is a premier global media and entertainment company offering audiences the world's most differentiated and complete portfolio of content, brands and franchises across television, film, sports, news, streaming and gaming. We're home to the world's best storytellers, creating world-class products for consumers. From brilliant creatives to technology trailblazers and beyond, join us as we step into the next chapter.
The Job
This editor is a best-in-class shaper and sharpener of stories and ideas and thrives on the breakneck pace of deadline journalism. CNN Digital news editors are multi-skilled and talented in that they know how to edit as an editor and read as a reader. They can copy edit and catch mistakes big and small. They can curate and tag. They can SEO. They know what stories - in either text or video - should be linked up. They know when attribution is needed and when it's overkill. They know the difference between a first version digital story that is ''good enough to go'' and when to hold to get more - and when that line is unclear, they know to ask.
The Daily
This editor will:
• Edit breaking news and features from National Digital and other journalists from throughout the organization.
• Serve as a second set of eyes on alerts or on key pieces that need a good comb-through and/or creative punch.
• Assist with the live stories that are an essential part of our breaking news coverage.
• Write as needed - your byline may occasionally be seen solo or as a contributing writer.
• Be an excellent communicator and diplomat - and an excellent provider of feedback who helps elevate CNN's storytelling across a wide range of digital platforms.
Some days may be fast and furious with edits on a single, fast-flowing story. Others will include edits of a wide range of pieces in different forms and formats – a news feature, a newsletter, an opinion piece, a story from a correspondent in a war zone.
And last but never least, this editor will serve as the final step before a story is distributed to millions of people worldwide. All CNN news editors work intently to make sure our stories are accurate and fair so that we continue to grow the trust between CNN and our audiences.
The Essentials?
• Willingness to work evenings: This is an evening role, with a schedule that may include Saturdays or Sundays.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
• Experience editing fast-moving breaking news.
• A clear understanding of style and grammar.
• Experience helping writers frame their stories for a national audience.
• At least 4 years of editorial experience.
• College degree or equivalent.
• Open to remote work.
