News Editor
The San Francisco Chronicle has an opening for an ambitious, resourceful and digitally savvy editor to join the news division. The editor will supervise a team of reporters and focus on providing readers unique, important and enterprising stories on issues, people and events affecting Northern California.
We are looking for a strong, positive communicator who loves to help journalists come up with ideas, work with them at every step of the reporting and writing process, make creative decisions about how stories should be presented, and partner with photographers, artists, designers and others to make stories captivate and resonate.
A successful candidate will embrace a collaborative environment and work hard to develop talent in the newsroom. The person should have the drive to deliver best-in-class coverage of a competitive story, often on tight deadlines, as well as the curiosity to ask what worthy stories remain untold. Strict devotion to accuracy, fairness and inclusiveness in coverage is a must.
What you will do:
• Supervise, edit and professionally develop a team of reporters, with a focus on providing best-in-class stories in your coverage area.
• Work collaboratively with journalists across the newsroom, including digital, photo and design, while pitching ideas for multimedia presentation of stories.
• Coordinate the long-term planning of the most in-depth stories, managing timelines and workflows.
• Ensure that coverage reflects the diversity of experiences and needs in the Bay Area.
What it will take to be successful:
• At least three years' experience at a daily newspaper, magazine or web publication or the equivalent.
• Strong news judgment, creativity and meticulousness.
• Ability to edit stories and make them more clear and compelling.
• Knowledge of multimedia storytelling, social media engagement and other strategies to broaden readership.
• Ability to collaborate with all newsroom teams and work in a fast-changing news environment.
