Assistant Fashion Editor

$150k - $175k

New York Times

The mission ( of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.

The Styles desk is seeking an experienced fashion news editor to help lead coverage of breaking news and enterprise reporting. This editor will be responsible for identifying, assigning and editing stories that range from fast-turn news to more ambitious packages and features. The ideal candidate will have excellent news judgment, strong editing skills and a clear sense of how fashion intersects with culture, celebrity, business, technology and identity. They should be fluent in the rhythms of online conversation, able to recognize viral moments and emerging trends, and skilled at distinguishing between fleeting chatter and stories with broader significance. A strong understanding of the Styles report and of the opportunities to bring a distinctive lens to the news is essential. This role will touch a wide range of coverage, including major news events, red carpets, celebrity fashion, designer moves, internet-driven style phenomena, obituaries of figures in our orbit, and enterprise stories about the people, institutions and forces shaping fashion and culture. The editor should be equally comfortable moving quickly on the story of the day and helping develop more expansive journalism that advances our coverage.

The person in this role will work closely with colleagues across the newsroom as stories intersect with other areas of coverage, including Business, Culture, Media, Technology and Politics. Candidates need not come from a traditional high-fashion background, but they should bring curiosity about subcultures, new talent, social media, aesthetics and the broader systems that influence how people dress, consume and present themselves. In this role, you will assign, shape and edit stories in a variety of formats, including news articles, explainers, visual packages, video and other digital forms. You should be collaborative, flexible and interested in experimenting with new approaches to storytelling. A love of language, strong news instincts, timeliness and a sense of urgency are essential.

This is an in-office position, based in New York City and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead Styles’s Fashion News coverage

  • Assign, first edit and shape several pieces per week

  • Manage a team of reporters, including being the liaison for our newsletter

  • Shape the fashion coverage on the desk, track news trends and ensure the right stories are covered and published on deadline.

  • Communicate with other desks when story ideas crash into each other

  • Manage staff writers, helping them to develop their beats while contributing to the desk’s goals

  • Strategize with visual editors from a story or project’s inception to publication

  • In consultation with the desk head and deputy, on news

  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world

  • This role will report to Deputy Editor, Styles

Basic Qualifications:

  • 10+ years in journalism with experience managing staff writers

  • Expert story shaping and line editing skills

  • Experience working on multi-platform formats

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior work in a newsroom

  • The ability to stay calm under pressure

  • A collaborative spirit

  • Strong attention to deadlines and detail
