Senior Editor, The Atlantic
The Atlantic is seeking a resourceful, entrepreneurial editor to provide ambitious, sophisticated, high-impact stories. The editor will be expected to generate feature-story ideas, match them effectively with writers, and ensure that the resulting stories have depth, integrity, and style. The editor may also be asked to create occasional special editorial packages.
Responsibilities Include:
• Assigning major feature stories, ranging from “big think” essays to narratives and profiles
• Editing feature stories and shorter magazine pieces
• Working with editors of TheAtlantic.com to assign and develop digital-only pieces
Qualifications:
• Editorial imagination and force of intellect
• Large and varied network of professional writers, scholars, and other potential contributors
• Exceptional facility with written language
• At least 8 years experience editing long and ambitious stories
• Facility with display copy and other elements of magazine packaging
Atlantic Media Values:
• Force of Ideas:At the center of Atlantic Media work are the ideas within our writing. We believe that ideas – to the good and not – have consequence. Our highest work is bringing rigor, insight, intellectual honesty, to that ultimate purpose of separating the bad from the good, giving voice, argument, and flight to the latter.
• Spirit of Generosity:Atlantic Media seeks in its ranks a spirit of generosity – a natural disposition in each colleague toward service and selfless conduct. Atlantic Media writing should be cut from the same cloth – critical on the merits but informed by charity and forbearance in measuring motive and personal character.
