Miami, United States Miami New Times Full time

Miami New Times has an immediate opening for an Arts & Culture Editor. The successful candidate will manage and lead our coverage of Miami’s vibrant arts and lifestyle scenes. Since its founding in 1987, Miami New Times has become a cultural touchstone in South Florida. We’ve got a hard-earned reputation for publishing compelling stories ignored or overlooked by major media, whether they’re insightful looks at local arts and entertainment or unflinching exposés about Miami's steamy political life.


This management position is based in our Miami newsroom and reports to the editor-in-chief. Remote candidates will not be considered.


Miami New Times is published weekly in print, and daily online. Always free.


Key Responsibilities

  • Hire and manage freelance reporters and photographers to produce a range of stories. Our stories include breaking news and trending topics that need to be written quickly to enterprise and feature stories that could take a week or more to report. 
  • Efficiently edit stories for structure, line editing and copy editing so they read beautifully, clearly and concisely and are free of factual and grammatical errors and typos. Ensure that care has been given to the best possible use of headlines, photography and art. Make sure that stories adhere to our style and SEO best practices.
  • Collaborate with the editor-in-chief on planning arts & culture coverage.
  • Manage the editorial workflow for the arts & culture vertical, assigning stories to reporters and freelancers, monitoring deadlines, ensuring a regular cadence of story output and balance, and meeting goals for volume and traffic.
  • Write daily stories.
  • Coach and manage freelancers through any part of the pitching, reporting, writing, editing or production process. Deliver feedback to them on their work and recruit new freelancers as needed.
  • Build broad relationships with the arts and culture community so that sources, story ideas, research and reporting reflect the diverse communities of Miami.
  • Participate in our annual Best of Miami issue and other special projects during the year.
  • Work collaboratively with the audience development director on trending news and SEO best practices, as well as the membership director on our membership program.


Who You Are

  • An experienced journalist and editor with a working knowledge of — or eagerness to immerse yourself in — the character, people, and culture of Miami.
  • At least two years of newsroom management experience.
  • You will have the ability to write well-reported and thought-provoking stories and the instincts for uncovering and sourcing those stories. 
  • An adept editor who can edit stories quickly and effectively.
  • A highly-organized, resourceful and proactive self-starter committed to accuracy and meeting deadlines.
  • You will have an in-depth understanding of social media and digital journalism with the ability to read and understand analytics to make informed coverage decisions to serve our current readers and reach new readers.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal.


Benefits

  • Compensation range of $55,000 to $60,000.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance.
  • In the first year: 10 paid holidays, 10 paid vacation days, 5 paid sick days per year.
  • Hybrid work policy based in our Miami office.


To Apply

Miami New Times believes our journalism will best serve our communities with culturally diverse staff and freelancers who offer a range of voices. We are committed to creating and sustaining an environment of inclusion, diversity, empowerment and equality. We are at our best when all our team members are respected and included regardless of race, age, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation and national origin. Women, veterans, people with disabilities, people of color and gender-nonconforming candidates are highly encouraged to apply.


Think you’ve got what it takes? Email a cover letter detailing your editing and management experience, as well as your proposed approach to helming the arts and culture section. Also include a resume and links to your best work to: mia-culture-editor@voicemediagroup.com
