NAHJ Career Center New Job Business Editor: Dallas, Texas The Dallas Morning News The Dallas Morning News seeks an ambitious and versatile editor to drive our business coverage to the next level in one of America’s fastest-growing regions. Texas’ population just crossed the 30 million mark and demographers predict it’ll grow to nearly 40 million by 2036 — the equivalent of adding a city the size of Austin every year for the next decade. That explosive growth touches every facet of life for those living, working and playing here, as well as the soon-to-arrive transplants. The impact of such growth raises serious questions about access, equity and resources.  For business journalists, there’s no better place in the nation to be stationed. Dallas-Fort Worth is home to two dozen Fortune 500 companies, nearly 80 publicly traded companies with more than $1 billion in revenue, two major airports and two of the industry’s biggest airlines, five major league sports teams and literally thousands of other firms representing every segment of the economy. We’re looking for an editor who can lead a team of skilled business reporters to connect and dissect these topics into urgent, aggressive and revelatory journalism that illuminates the challenges ahead for our region.  The successful candidate will be comfortable working with data and records, have a strong understanding of social media and digital metrics, and have a passion for growing our online audience. The ability to manage a team to produce a balance of enterprise and daily news coverage is a must-have trait. This editor will oversee one of the largest regional business news teams in the country. You will be supported by an assistant editor and manage 10 reporters covering real estate, retail, transportation, airlines, diverse communities, health and breaking/trending business news.  This editor must have impeccable news judgment, strong leadership and organizational skills and the ability to manage change. In addition, this leader should be devoted to the growth and development of all News staffers and to DEI efforts. Responsibilities and duties: * Plan for both short-term coverage and long-term projects with an eye toward features/enterprise, distinctive journalism that differentiates our report from a list of competitors * Generate content ideas that include an emphasis on the diversity of voices, stories, subjects and perspectives * Follow closely and develop insights into analytics in coverage areas of responsibility and the newsroom at large as well as communicating goals, wins and losses * Ensure that stories are reported fairly, accurately and thoroughly, with sharp, compelling writing * Build trusting relationships with staffers * Work across departments in and out of the newsroom to maximize the editorial and revenue possibilities of sports content * Take a… See more jobs at www.nahjcareers.org #MoreLatinosinNews

Being a journalist was hands down the most challenging role I've had in my career. It taught me SO much, which is why it's so frustrating to see myself and fellow former journalists struggling even more than average in this job market. I know it "looks" like I only have a few years of comms experience. But my decade as a journalist taught me so many transferrable skills: 1. Working under deadline pressure? There's no deadline quite like live TV. 2. Juggling multiple priorities? Breaking news requires a big shift in priorities. Redirect crews to the location, make sure we're calling sources for confirmation, get what we know so far up on the website. Oh, and make sure you're still putting together a full rundown of regular news in case it turns out to be nothing. 3. Writing for different voices? Producers write essentially everything the anchors say. Over time, you learn how your anchors prefer things.. words or phrases they don't like, how they like things typed out in the prompter, and how they might say something in their own style. 4. Collaboration? Live news doesn't happen without it. Being a producer means working with your reporters to know what story they have and what they need. Your director needs to know what shots you have in mind and when to take video. Your editor needs to know what video to cut and where to put it. The graphics department needs direction on what images or maps you might need. Meteorologists may have special requests if it's a big weather day. The list goes on. 5. Understanding your audience? Almost everything journalists do is focused on their audience. We choose stories based on what would appeal to our demographic. We consider what they will already understand about a story, what needs to be explained, what questions they might have, etc. We tailor our content specifically to meet the viewers. These are just a few of the skills I began developing in local newsrooms. I believe it made me a better employee, coworker, and all-around person. I learned the importance of sharing stories, creating empathy and understanding, and doing it all with ethics front and center. So hire a former journalist. I promise you won't regret it.

Journalism job alert and some personal news. Want to lead an excellent team doing impactful enterprise reporting in Washington state? Check out this job opening at Cascade PBS (formerly Crosscut). Isn’t that my job? Yes, it is. I’ve lead the news team at Crosscut for the past five years. I’ve enjoyed a great run and have decided to retire at the end of the year. I’m looking forward to watching the future of this great nonprofit newsroom from the sidelines. Our coverage focuses on government and politics so do not apply if you’ve been hiding in a cave this past year, hoping the election would go away. Do apply if you have a passion for giving the people the information they need to smartly engage in our democracy. A big part of this job: mentoring our journalists to do their best work. My team and our network of freelancers are among the best I’ve ever worked with. We’re going to be picky when hiring their next team leader. Editors who rewrite every story: apply somewhere else. The great journalism at Cascade PBS is the result of thoughtful collaboration, not editors who control the narrative. Ask me anything, including if I have time for some contract editing work. I’m not going to retire to the pickleball courts, but I am going to slow way down and be very picky about any work I take on. https://lnkd.in/g_bFje4z

Editor & Publisher knows its stuff.

This is a really great time to hire journalists. Don't get me wrong — it's a bad time for the news industry. But if your marketing team is looking for fresh ideas, a lot of highly experienced writers and editors have been made redundant this year and are actively looking for new engagements. If your organization has been trying to make a bigger impact through content, consider hiring a journalist. We learn quickly, know how to ask the right questions and love a deadline.
