ASSISTANT EDITOR JOB DESCRIPTION

An Assistant Editor keeps a news desk publishing. That one-sentence truth understates the reach: in digital newsrooms where AP style governs copy and breaking-news SLAs can be measured in minutes, this role owns the gap between raw reporting and audience-ready content across print, web, and social platforms. The person in this seat reads coverage plans in the morning, edits filed copy against house style by afternoon, monitors SEO performance across live pages, and closes the day having moved stories through multiple distribution channels. Multi-platform editorial judgment, knowing when a story needs a data visualisation, a social push, or a second-day angle, is the professional skill that distinguishes this role from straight reporting.

As the Assistant Editor, you support daily and long-term coverage planning, edit contributor and staff copy to meet journalistic standards, and manage content across digital and print platforms to sustain audience growth and engagement. You work within the newsroom reporting structure, operating under a senior editor while partnering with social, audience development, and production teams to deliver content that performs against defined editorial and traffic KPIs.

Career Impact: Hands-on experience editing breaking news, SEO-driven service journalism, and multi-platform packages builds the cross-format portfolio that opens doors to News Editor and Digital Content Editor roles.

Business Impact: Every story that clears this desk either earns or loses readers - accurate, well-packaged coverage directly shapes subscription retention and audience loyalty for the publication.

Growth Opportunity: Managing a contributor roster, learning to evaluate audience data for coverage decisions, and owning an editorial vertical develops the strategic judgment required at the Deputy Editor level.

• Edit staff and contributor copy against AP style and house voice to meet daily and breaking-news deadlines.
• Monitor audience and traffic data to adjust story pitching, packaging, and distribution strategies in real time.
• Pitch and assign original story ideas, including second-day angles and SEO-driven service roundups, to staff and freelance reporters.
• Oversee content across digital and print channels, including home-page updates, social accounts, and newsletter editorial calendars.
• Screen contributor submissions for factual accuracy, legal red flags, and editorial standards before publication.
• Manage contributor onboarding, payment processing, and CMS workflow issues for an assigned roster.
• Collaborate with senior editors on weekly story budgets and long-term coverage planning across beats.
• Coordinate newsgathering resources, including multimedia assets, to ensure all platform formats are served.

• Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications, English, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• Two or more years of editorial experience in a newsroom or digital media outlet, with demonstrated deadline performance.
• Proven ability to edit and write clean, accurate copy under immediate deadline pressure across print and digital formats.

• Multi-platform journalism experience spanning newsletters, video series, podcasts, or social content strategy.
• Familiarity with audience analytics platforms and the ability to translate performance data into actionable editorial decisions.
• Foreign language fluency, particularly in a language relevant to international coverage regions.

• Story publish rate against daily content budget, measuring adherence to production commitments.
• Copy accuracy rate post-publication, tracking corrections issued per hundred published pieces.
• Contributor output per roster cycle, reflecting how effectively assigned writers are briefed and managed.
• Audience engagement rate per edited story, measured by page views, time on page, or social shares.
• Breaking-news response time, tracking minutes from event to first published update on assigned beats.
• Typical tools: content management systems (commonly WordPress or similar); audience analytics dashboards (commonly Chartbeat or similar).

• Base Salary Range: $48,000 to $68,000 per year, depending on market and seniority
• Bonus: Annual discretionary bonus of 0 to 8% based on editorial performance metrics
• Equity: Equity uncommon; occasionally offered at digital-native or venture-backed outlets
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution varies by outlet size
