Job Title: Assistant managing editor<\/p>\n

Reports to: Managing editor<\/p>\n

Verite is a Black-led nonprofit news organization with a twofold mission to produce in-depth journalism that serves the whole community while training, developing and mentoring a new generation of minority journalists.<\/p>\n

To sustain that mission, Verite is seeking an assistant managing editor to work with the managing editor and editor-in-chief to continue growing a staff that will be recognized as a leader in independent, nonpartisan journalism in the Deep South.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As directed by the managing editor, the assistant managing editor will help make assignments, direct coverage and edit copy for staff reporters and photographers as well as work with freelancers and contributors to regularly publish high-quality content on our website that is also shared with organizations across the internet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Verite produces in-depth, data-driven investigative reporting aimed at finding solutions to chronic problems, engaging in deep-dive analyses of government and private actions that impact the community while generating thoughtful historical and narrative presentations that help enhance the shared sense of community and belonging.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As part of the management team, this position will have input in setting newsroom policy, goals and standards as well as training programs and systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ideal candidate will be someone with reporting, editing and management experience who understands the need for accuracy, integrity, balance and diverse perspective in all reporting. This candidate will be working with experienced journalists as well as entry-level reporters, journalism fellows, non-traditional staffers and voices from the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The assistant managing editor should be able to mentor staffers at all levels, helping to improve reporting, writing and communication skills that will translate into growth and opportunities. Some work can be done remotely, but the assistant managing editor must be able to meet regularly with the management team and staff to create the best environment for cooperation and growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
