Job Description



As a member of the MSNBC Digital copy desk, the copy editor is the last line of defense to ensure that our articles, columns, blogs and live blogs are of the highest quality possible. Whether it’s a long feature or a short breaking news blog, we will look to the copy editor to make sure our coverage is free of errors and typos and has context and clarity. The copy editor plays an essential part in producing compelling coverage that helps to expand our growing readership.

You will have excellent news judgment, and an understanding of the MSNBC brand, standards, its shows and its on-air hosts.

Position is based in New York City or Washington, D.C.

This position is represented by the Writers Guild of America East.

Responsibilities:

  • Edit quickly and thoroughly, sometimes after pieces are published
  • Engage in productive dialogue with reporters, editors and managers as needed
  • Make sure MSNBC.com’s coverage meets the highest standards

Qualifications

  • A bachelor’s degree or relevant work experience
  • At least 5 years of experience in daily journalism as a copy editor
  • A strong knowledge of AP style
  • Must have the desire to work in a creative, demanding, competitive environment
  • Experience working with politics and/or opinion journalism strongly preferred

The position requires enthusiasm, patience and positive communication skills. A successful candidate must be able to quickly edit articles in fast-breaking situations, and understand the difference in style and tone between an opinion column, a news or enterprise feature and a live blog. Editors need to be able to work collaboratively with a staff of writers and editors, ranging from industry veterans to early career employees.

This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks.
