Description
The Editor will be responsible for producing and managing news and commentary content for several SWN editorial websites. We are looking for a writer/editor to take our daily news coverage to the next level of success. The right candidate will be excited by the idea of delivering the highest quality information and opinion to a Christian audience and will be looking for innovative ways to improve the audience experience with ChristianHeadlines.com in particular.
As an editor, you will direct the selection of appropriate content for inclusion on the websites as well as write, edit and post text features and videos. You will manage a daily news blog and the basic website functions of ChristianHeadlines.com. Daily duties will include news writing, interfacing with freelancers and other content providers, editing and uploading articles, collecting material for our email newsletters, and some social media marketing. You will become a contributor to the overall, collaborative vision of the SWN editorial team.
The ideal candidate:
• Will have a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, English, or Communications (or equivalent experience) with 1-2 years of experience in a related editorial field.
• Must be a self-starter, highly organized and detail-oriented with experience managing large editorial or web projects.
• Must have solid writing and editing skills, and experience writing to deadline.
• Will display a strong work ethic and operate productively in a team environment.
• Must demonstrate editorial innovation and creativity.
• Must demonstrate an understanding of our evangelical Christian audience members’ interests, behavior, and core values.
• Must be conversant in socio-cultural issues impacting the Christian Church.
• Will display an ability to interact with both corporate and religious communities.
• Will show a general understanding of Microsoft Office applications, Google Drive, social media websites and general internet practices.
• Experience conducting interviews a plus.
• Experience with Facebook marketing for a commercial or non-profit entity a plus.
Please Note:
This is an editorial position, not a technical one, although some basic technical training on our content management and operational systems will be part of the job.
This position is located in our Richmond, Virginia office; telecommuting will not be an option.
