For journalists and editors in the New York City area, I wanted to let you know TPM is expanding and we have two new editor slots we’re hiring for to work from our New York City office. (Of course, you can be from anywhere; but the positions themselves are located in New York.) One is an Associate Editor position (see listing) who will focus on breaking news and our LiveWire section. The second is a new Features Editor position (see listing) who will work on our expanding opinion section, freelance feature and longform pieces. These are both new positions and the ‘editor’ titles are not nominal. These are editing positions – the standard mix of story conception, assignment and editing. We’re looking for a couple of great people to join our team. Interested? Check out the listings at the links above. Thanks.
