News Editor
role at
The New York Times .
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.
This is a swing shift position, from about 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., which means you'd have the chance to work closely with our small group of senior editors managing the report during the day — and then have the opportunity to work alongside the maestro of the night newsroom, Steve Kenny. Additionally, you will have the chance to work closely with every desk on nearly every aspect of the report. Most of all, you will always be thinking about the big picture and how all the pieces fit together. While our primary responsibilities on the New Desk are set — news, quality, home page priorities — you will have the chance to help define the role as we evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly changing newsroom.
Responsibilities
Read stories and offer help and guidance to backfield editors
Consult with the Home team on placement and play
Help elevate our breaking news coverage and improve headlines and summaries
Ensure Times journalism is urgent, authoritative and accessible
Identify the day's top stories and keep tabs as they are developing
Oversee editing with the modern, busy reader in mind
Stay atop of breaking developments that move on the wires, Dataminr and leading competitors.
Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
This role reports to Assistant Managing Editor, News Desk
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of experience as an editor including breaking news
Experience demonstrating excellent news judgment
Experience collaborating with colleagues of different professional backgrounds and skills
Demonstrated track record of helping produce clear, concise news writing
Can provide leadership when it comes to conceptualizing, editing and executing new and high-impact reports
Preferred Qualifications
Curiosity and interest in breaking news
Enjoy a wide range of subjects and be familiar with competitors' work
Schedule This will be a Monday‑through‑Friday schedule with occasional night shifts to fill in when needed.
Pay and Benefits REQ-019413
Annual base pay range: $180,000 – $220,000 USD. For roles in the U.S., you may be eligible for variable pay, such as an annual bonus and restricted stock. Benefits may include medical, dental and vision benefits, Flexible Spending Accounts (F.S.A.s), a company‑matching 401(k) plan, paid vacation, paid sick days, paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement and professional development programs.

All applications will receive consideration for employment without regard to legally protected characteristics.
