Journalism/Media Jobs in Buffalo, NY

Requirements

The editor will:

Be a detail-oriented planner who will push writers to develop a story budget filled with unique local content and deadlines that align with our digital plan.
Create new ways for readers to experience that coverage –through different story forms, data, newsletters, video, audio and social media.
Set priorities and help reporters stick to them. Be comfortable saying “no” to the good story ideas to make way for the best ones.
Eschew traditional stories and for-the-record coverage in favor of stories that no one else is telling.
Be willing to take creative risks, move quickly and learn from the outcomes.
Work with reporters – from reporting to story conception to final line editing – to create coverage that sets the agenda and is far ahead of the competition.

The editor should:

Have a demonstrated ability to guide reporters on compelling coverage that matters.
Be a clear communicator who gives honest feedback, is committed to mentoring team members and develops the teams’ skills.
Be as comfortable with digital story forms as pulling together traditional print packages. Stories should have an impact no matter the platform – whether a multimedia display or Sunday front page package.
Have a mastery of digital best practices, including social media and SEO.
Have a good understanding of the ways data, reporting and visuals can make or break a story – bringing our coverage beyond the anecdotes and quotes.
Be comfortable representing The News at public events, including networking and public speaking.
