Part time

The New York Post provides readers with the best in News, Sports, Pop Culture, Fashion and Entertainment – with signature wit, irreverence and authority averaging 90 million unique viewers a month. Over the past 224 years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.

The NY Post is looking for an experienced editor for a part-time role with the Sunday staff. The editor is expected to be a line and assignment editor who possesses fine attention to detail, critical thinking skills, and who can also aggressively transform breaking copy on deadline to sing in The Post's unique tabloid voice.

The editor should be able to mine, assign and edit an array of stories -- impactful, quirky, scandalous, etc. -- on immediate deadline for our website, and also for the Sunday print edition. The editor must be able to give clear direction to our team of award‑winning field reporters and in‑office journos.

The Sunday team breaks local, national and international news, investigates government corruption, crushes hypocrisy wherever we find it, mines the world for the quirky and the funny, and delivers award‑winning, long‑ and short‑form journalism in the boldest tabloid voice.

The NY Post is the nation’s 5th‑largest U.S. newspaper by circulation and its website routinely generates tens of millions of pageviews every weekend. The ability to handle anything from a breaking brief to a sprawling news feature, in a wide range of subjects, is needed. And you’ll even get to spitball with the rest of us on our world‑famous Page 1 headlines.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher
• A minimum of 5 years of editing in a busy newsroom
• Comfortable editing/re‑writing both breaking news and long‑form stories in lively tabloid prose for web and print
• A keen understanding of the voice of the Post
• A knack for finding stories our readers crave
• A critical eye for facts and tone
• Broad knowledge base
• Willingness to collaborate and ability to communicate with a close‑knit team of NYC’s best journalists

Note: The New York Post adheres to a hybrid work model. As a part‑time editor, you will work an 8‑to‑10‑hour Saturday shift in the office, with the possibility of working additional hours on Thursday and Friday.

As a result, our ranges reflect our good faith estimate to pay fairly as to what our ideal candidates are likely to expect, and we tailor our offers within the range based on the selected candidate's experience, industry knowledge, technical and communication skills, and other factors that may prove relevant during the interview process.
