• Demonstrated experience working in daily or political news under tight deadline pressure
• Exceptional writing, editing and research skills & strong editorial judgment
• Understanding of journalism and journalistic ethics
• An ability to develop and handle multiple long & short-term projects of varying complexity
• Proficiency with ProTools, Adobe Audition, or other audio editing software

• Paid healthcare
• 401k match
• Generous vacation
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave
• A discretionary year-end bonus
• Did we also mention our offices are closed at the end of the year?

When we open up a position, we conduct a market analysis to ensure we have the most up-to-date data. Once we're ready to extend an offer, we look at the individual's years of relevant experience and other compensable factors to determine a competitive offer. And for this role, the starting salary range is $75,000 -$85,000.
