Online editor/producer

Anchorage, AK
Full-time
Writing / Editing
Posted on April 22, 2019
The Anchorage Daily News / adn.com, Alaska’s most-read news site and newspaper, has an immediate opening for an online editor/producer to help us do amazing work. We need someone with energy, drive and smarts to join an audience-focused newsroom devoted to producing journalism that matters.
You’ll help produce stories and drive our homepage, app and social channels. The focus is audience — serving it, listening to it, growing it, retaining it. Your journalism foundation needs to be solid: a devotion to facts, fairness, clarity and compelling stories and storytelling. You understand that details matter. You know when to be fast and when to go deep. You understand audience engagement and everything that goes into building it— writing and honing effective headlines; using analytics smartly; knowing the differences between social platforms and how to effectively use each of them; pulling people to our content and keeping them there.
We’re looking for someone with reporting and/or editing experience with proven ability to work as part of a team. Familiarity with Table Stakes concepts is a plus. We’re big enough to have a robust audience and wide reach, but small enough for individual employees to have an immediate and significant impact. Some evenings and weekends required.
We cover a place bursting with rich, complex, interesting news — and readers who expect a lot from us. We’re independently owned and offer a competitive salary and benefits in a diverse, highly livable city of 300,000, with Alaska and all its outdoor opportunities right out the door. We’ll relocate the right candidate. Email a resume, samples of your work and a brief note telling how you can help us by clicking apply now.
