Senior Editor Reports to Executive Editor Position Summary Mission Local is looking to hire a senior editor to work with our existing editors to plan news coverage and manage the newsroom. The senior editor will supervise six to nine reporters in news-gathering and reporting efforts. At present, we are expanding to different neighborhoods and want to deepen our expertise in short-term investigative pieces. The ideal candidate is thoughtful, innovative, ambitious, and fast. They see urgency and strategy in turning breaking news situations into short investigative pieces. They are a thorough editor, familiar with and experienced in daily and enterprise journalism. They can restructure narratives, line edit and copy edit — and do so quickly, on deadline. They’re excited about data and visuals. And they are comfortable giving feedback and training a young staff. We are a team of 19 at present and will likely grow to 20 later this year.
