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 Morning is the flagship newsletter of The New York Times. With more than 16 million subscribers, it’s the most-read journalism newsletter in the world.
We are looking for an editor to oversee the team in London that writes and produces the newsletter each morning – and help manage the global team. This role is essential to delivering The Morning’s distinctive blend of ideas journalism, breaking news updates and lifestyle coverage to readers in a crisp, conversational tone. It’s the rare opportunity to shape The Times' biggest platform.
This person must intuit what readers need to know and have an aptitude for conveying it as clearly as possible. The job is for an editor who can ensure the newsletter has a voice that is authoritative and accessible, with an ability to inject humor and verve. It also requires an ability to operate calmly and carefully under intense daily deadline pressure. It’s a role that works collaboratively with colleagues in London and the U.S. But those colleagues may be asleep when it’s time to make important decisions, and so this editor must take responsibility for complex decisions, made quickly and autonomously.
This is a fast-paced, high-responsibility position that offers the rare opportunity to shape the daily reading experience of millions — and influence The Times’s biggest platform.
This is an in-office position based in London and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week, working a Sunday - Thursday shift. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance. This role will report to the Editor, The Morning.
