Breaking News Editor

$90k - $95k
Full-time

Washington Examiner

The Washington Examiner wishes to hire a Breaking News Editor to lead its breaking news operation. This is a job for someone passionate about politics, policy, and wider news in Washington D.C., America’s heartland, and across the nation.

They should have a keen interest in the aftermath of the 2026 midterm elections, as well as the buildup to the 2028 presidential race.

The right candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, pitching and editing multiple stories a day, as well as have a keen understanding for what conservative readers want to read.

Role will include covering politics at both the national and local levels, general assignment news, media, entertainment and more. 

The successful candidate should have strong people skills, as they will be responsible for day-to-day admin that comes with running a team, including coordinating coverage of big news topics, scheduling staff to cover seven days a week, and spearheading special projects.

The job is based in Washington D.C., although the Washington Examiner currently offers a hybrid in office/at-home schedule. Although the role is primarily Monday to Friday, there will be exceptions to that depending on the news cycle, and vacation/PTO of other members of their team.

Annual salary approximately $90,000-$95,000. Benefits include healthcare, dental, vision and 401k.
