You Will:

  • Quickly and sharply edit for grammar, style, sense, jargon, accuracy, clarity, diversity and fairness.
  • Assign and direct the work of the team on quality and presentation of time-sensitive edits.
  • Understand WSJ's audiences and their needs to best connect our content.
  • Uphold Dow Jones standards and ethics in your own work and that of others.
  • Meet deadlines, problem solve and be flexible in changing/handing off tasks.


You Have:

 

  • 5+ years of experience as a news editor.
  • Strong design and visual judgment to enhance digital storytelling packages, including editing different types of media, such as graphics, social-media language and photo captions.
  • Aptitude for learning new software and newsroom publishing tools as well as developing proficiency with metadata and in-house storytelling devices.
