The Hill, a division of Nexstar Media Group, is seeking an Associate Editor to join our newsroom. The successful applicant will work closely with other reporters and editors to generate ideas and craft and refine non-partisan stories and newsletters. We’re looking for someone with a hard work ethic, good time-management skills and the ability to write and edit headlines and copy that sizzle.
The position requires a keen eye for detail, strong communication skills and a solid understanding of political news and policy. The position is based at our Washington, D.C., offices and is full-time with some nights and weekends.
The person in this role will help edit and develop multiple political and policy newsletters and interact closely with teams across the company, including Sales and Production.
The ideal applicant has a strong background in reporting or editing at a national media company, a high metabolism for rapidly changing news, a deep interest in how The Hill can stand out and agility to quickly switch between various tasks.
Each day, you can expect to edit breaking news and longer-form content as a first-line editor, pitch in doing a secondary edit and help template material. You'll become an expert on The Hill's systems and processes around newsletters and help share your expertise with others across the company.
