Managing Editor (Volunteer)
Description:
Managing Editor - Remote (Volunteer) *Note: The following is an opportunity for flexible, part-time, volunteer work. Please DO NOT APPLY if you are only looking for paid employment. All positions are remote / work-from-home. Are you an experienced editor who is currently sidelined but eager to get back into the news game? Are you a fan of nonprofit journalism and also in a position to volunteer your time? At WhoWhatWhy, we’re looking to build a team of part-time managing editors. We tackle the tough funding challenges of being a small, scrappy nonprofit by combining a largely voluntary team with a small core of paid pillar personnel. Right now, we cannot afford to pay a managing editor an industry-standard salary but we’re willing to work with the right person over time to convert to some compensation. However, we want to be candid that the ideal candidate would have modest financial needs — and be primarily motivated to do what they love and are good at, in a stimulating, idealistic, quality environment. WhoWhatWhy is a nonpartisan, agenda-free news organization. Not left-wing, not right-wing, not consensus-seeking, we report the truth, whatever it is. We approach each story with an open mind, boundless curiosity, and a willingness to dig deep beneath the surface — and don’t back away in the face of pressure from powerful institutions and groupthink. Age does not matter. We have among us young students, vibrant retirees, and everything in between, from all walks of life. If you can commit 15 hours a week or more on a flexible schedule, we’d love to hear from you. Join us! Responsibilities Recruit and manage our editorial team Plan coverage and assign work Help set editorial priorities and direction Oversee and develop our beats As needed, write and edit articles of varying length Write compelling headlines and teasers Recruit and work with new writers Select and produce partner stories for publication Coordinate on social and audience strategy and marketing plans Maintain publishing schedules and calendar Help us grow our content output and continuously improve our quality Qualifications 5+ years of reporting and editing experience, with strong web credentials Exceptional communication skills, including superior writing and editing skills A dedication to accuracy and fairness in reporting Ability to prioritize and work on multiple projects simultaneously Be a real team player with superb people skills and a calm, confident demeanor Perks Channel your passion in a stimulating environment. Learn the nuts and bolts of nonprofit operations in an up-and-coming organization. Develop new skills and gain valuable experience that can enhance your professional trajectory. Do amazing work on a flexible, part-time basis. Have fun while you make a difference. Expectations You will be expected to attend your department’s recurring meetings. Beyond this, you will work on your own schedule. We ask for a minimum commitment of 6 months for at least 15 hours a week. Because our team is spread throughout the world, we rely on a combination of Slack, email, and conference calls, and expect everyone to be responsive in a timely manner. To Apply We will not review applications that appear to be mass submissions. To apply, send your resume and a customized cover letter making clear you are familiar with our mission and work. You should confirm your understanding that this is a volunteer position. If there is no option to attach a cover letter, please send a cover letter to XXXX@whowhatwhy.org.
