Chronicle's founding mission was to cover in-depth a broad range of local stories not likely to be featured in the station's newscasts --- a mixture of investigative, enterprise, and feature material showcasing the best videography, writing and editing on Boston television. Chronicle has evolved over the decades to embrace a rich and diverse menu of stories on the lifestyle and culture of New England.
The Managing Editor oversees Chronicle's daily content creation as well as scheduling the program's staff of more than 20 people including producers, on-air personnel, photojournalists, and editors. The Managing Editor is also responsible for managing all multi-media content development and production elements. The applicant must be a driven and organized leader who is also an excellent storyteller with a proven track-record for writing and producing compelling, long-form programming. The ideal candidate should have a deep knowledge of all things New England including the region's history, politics, influencers (both the well-known, and the less-so), geography, and culture. The applicant should be a motivational and collaborative leader with a vision for successful multi-media content creation while incorporating the program's signature tone and style.
