Associate Editor
The associate editor wears many hats and must be able to take on miscellaneous duties week to week in addition to the primary responsibilities. He/she will serve as the paper's copy editor, cleaning up copy for print and online by reading for AP/house style, grammar, syntax, content and flow. The associate editor also manages the intern program: recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training, overseeing, and, if necessary, firing a crew of unpaid, part-time college interns that cycles in and out each semester. This also means overseeing the fact-checking process, as interns fact check everything published in the paper, and occasionally retracing the interns' steps to ensure they are doing the job correctly. In addition, the associate editor is expected to write at least one article per issue, in the form of reported pieces and/or arts reviews (theater, books, music, movies, etc), which will involve occasional night/weekend work.
As a member of a small editorial staff, the associate editor should have good news judgement and the ability to pitch stories and actively contribute to the content and overall direction of the paper. Additional duties include typesetting copy in InDesign/InCopy and preparing and editing content for the blog using WordPress, but the associate editor should always be flexible and able to take on other tasks as needed.
Please send a resume, six clips, and a letter explaining why you are the person for this job to Senior Editor Andrea Appleton via aappleton@citypaper.com
