ASSOCIATE EDITOR JOB DESCRIPTION

Copy needs a home before it reaches an audience. The Associate Editor holds that space in a digital newsroom, taking raw reporting and contributor submissions through editing, headline optimization, and publication to live pages and newsletter sends. This role answers to the editorial chain while coordinating daily with social, graphics, and video teams across verticals that can span lifestyle, sports, crime, or entertainment. Working a beat with real ownership and real deadlines is what separates this position from a generalist writing role.

You report into a senior editor or deputy editor and collaborate daily with social, graphics, and production teams to move stories from assignment to distribution.

Career Impact: Owning a defined beat - whether health, crime, lifestyle, or sports - builds the kind of focused editorial judgment that senior editor and deputy editor roles are explicitly built on.

Business Impact: Page views, newsletter open rates, and social referral traffic are the numbers this role moves directly, making the Associate Editor's daily output a measurable driver of audience revenue.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to SEO strategy, audience analytics, and multi-platform distribution builds a skill set that commands significantly more leverage at the editor and content director level.
