The Executive Editor will supervise the execution of this strategy across the newsroom and manage the editorial staff. In addition to sharing  The Nation ’s longstanding commitment to social and racial justice, free speech, robust debate, and the broadest possible coalition of progressive forces, the ideal candidate will be equally at home with both the daily news cycle and the kind of more analytical, deeply reported, rigorously edited long-form pieces that are a hallmark of our print journalism. Applicants should already know The Nation well, and have considerable experience working with a variety of authors on both longform reported features and short, sharp OpEd/comment pieces.  We’re looking for an ambitious editor who will help us diversify and expand The Nation ’s roster of contributors and is eager to work with our business and production teams to improve our user experience. Management experience is essential, as are seasoned editorial and news judgment, and a proven track record in digital publishing. The Nation  is a lean operation long accustomed to punching above its weight. That means that every member of our team needs to be flexible, collegial, and to work closely with other staff editors as well as the art director. The ability to maintain a functioning sense of humor under pressure is also a big plus.   The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker, with deep knowledge of American politics and culture, or global politics, or social movements.  Working alongside the Editor to supervise and direct our editorial team of five senior editors, you will be responsible for directly managing  The Nation ’s Research Director, Copy Director, Multimedia Editor and Engagement Editor.  You’ll also liaise with our business team on audience development and special projects, and work with the Managing Editor to ensure the efficient functioning of the newsroom.  Financial literacy—and an appetite for digging into the editorial budget—would be a considerable advantage.  As would experience in working with foundations and funding bodies—and a willingness to help us think creatively about how to partner with other media outlets and to obtain grant funding for special projects. Although we are currently working remotely, and you should have the capability to do that, a successful candidate should also be prepared to work in our New York office when the pandemic ends.  The Nation  offers excellent benefits, including generous health care.  The Nation  Co. LLC is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or veteran status, and strongly encourage candidates who identify as people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, and/or gender nonconforming to apply. To apply, please send your resume and a cover letter and salary expectations to  hr@thenation.com       Competitive salary commensurate with experience Wed, 21 Jul 2021 15:37:16 -0400 https://jobs.press.org/jobs/rss/15151486/senior-politics-reporter https://jobs.press.org/jobs/rss/15151486/senior-politics-reporter New York, New York, FiveThirtyEight is seeking a senior reporter to write in-depth pieces on U.S. politics and elections with a particular focus on the intersection of politics and culture — how culture increasingly influences political identity and what that means for our politics, but also what that means for our society. We are at a critical juncture in American history, and we need an experienced reporter to work both independently and in collaboration with colleagues across the newsroom to help us tell authoritative stories about American democracy, the electorate and the larger trends changing each. A successful candidate will have produced longer, ambitious features and shorter, day-to-day stories. In other words, we’re looking for someone with experience successfully defining and covering a particular beat — pushing that beat forward week to week but also taking a step back to write stories with scope and sweep. We’re also looking for someone with a demonstrated track record of combining reporting and empirical evidence in their stories, but that work can take many forms — seeking academic expertise or using census information, polls or other statistics in your reporting, for example. Statistical skills would be a plus but are by no means required. What is most important to us is that you have experience combining data with more traditional reporting to tell big, important and original stories about this moment in our nation’s history and what might come next. How is the electorate changing — its makeup, its opinions? How are the parties changing? And what does all that mean for our democracy and our society? The Senior Politics Reporter will report to the Politics Editor, but we’re looking for someone eager to collaborate with colleagues across the newsroom (our video, podcast and visual journalists, most especially). The Senior Politics Reporter is a U.S.-based position and remote work may be considered. The position is full-time with benefits. Apply with a cover letter and resume at the Disney jobs portal . Responsibilities: Write a mix of short and longer features each month that explore how culture and politics intersect. Contribute to FiveThirtyEight’s podcasts and videos. Work with the editing and graphics teams to occasionally develop and execute major projects. Work with the Politics Editor and other colleagues to help guide FiveThirtyEight’s political coverage in general. Basic Qualifications: Experience as a reporter covering U.S. politics either at the local or national level. A track record of coming up with and executing original story ideas that involve in-depth reporting and analysis. Experience using data in your reporting. Preferred Qualifications: Experience working with academic and scientific research on politics, race and ethnicity. Familiarity with spreadsheet software and analyzing data.
