Newsweek is a global media organization that delivers news, analysis, and commentary across a wide range of topics including politics, technology, health, finance, and entertainment. It offers articles, insights, and updates on world events and issues, and provides a platform for opinion and debate. Newsweek is known for its publications both in print and online, serving a diverse audience with factual reporting and unique storytelling.

📋 Description

• Write rapid, high-quality subscriber commentary on breaking, developing and agenda-setting news stories, with a particular focus on producing copy that adds interpretation, analysis and value rather than simply recapping events. • Identify subscriber-worthy angles on major stories across the United States and internationally, and develop them into sharp commentary pieces with a clear thesis, strong framing and an authoritative voice appropriate to Newsweek's standards. • Turn around clean copy quickly under deadline pressure, including first drafts, rewrites and updates, while maintaining accuracy, clarity, balance and strong structure throughout. • Take briefs and editorial direction from senior editors, and respond constructively to line edits and feedback, including revising intros, nutgraphs, headlines, structure, framing and emphasis where required. • Produce commentary that explains why a story matters to subscribers by setting out the context, stakes, implications and next developments readers should watch. • Help package stories in CMS, including writing or refining headlines, decks, standfirsts, captions, links, keywords and other metadata so that subscriber content is complete and ready to publish quickly. • Work with editors to ensure stories are visually and editorially complete at publication, including identifying suitable art, embeds, related links or other presentation elements where appropriate. • Assist with the subscriber newsletter workflow, including suggesting stories, drafting summaries, writing display copy and helping prepare material under the direction of senior editors. • Provide occasional support for other formats where requested, such as short videos, talking points or basic editorial input for audience-facing promotion of subscriber journalism. • Keep abreast of the live news agenda and flag timely subscriber commentary opportunities or follow-up ideas to senior editors. • Apply sound media-law and standards judgment in day-to-day editorial decisions, including awareness of defamation, privacy, reporting restrictions, copyright and fair use, and escalate concerns quickly when needed. • Use AI tools responsibly and in line with editorial best practice, including careful verification of outputs, appropriate disclosure or attribution where relevant, and strong human oversight of all published work. • Collaborate with editorial, newsletters, video and audience colleagues where needed to execute assignments and support an organized subscriber workflow. • Perform any other reasonable duties as necessary to meet the needs of the business.

🎯 Requirements

• Demonstrable knowledge of the news agenda in the United States and internationally, with the judgment to recognize which developments are most likely to matter to a subscription audience. • Strong experience writing quickly and accurately in a digital news environment, including under breaking-news pressure and to multiple deadlines in a shift. • Demonstrable ability to write commentary, analysis or interpretive journalism that goes beyond summary and gives readers a clear, valuable take on events. • Good sourcing instincts and a strong commitment to accuracy, fairness and transparency, including understanding when additional context, balance or stakeholder comment is needed. • Comfort with CMS publishing workflows and the editorial details that support publication quality, such as metadata, links, visuals, tags, captions and story presentation. • Demonstrable interest in or experience with subscriber products, newsletters, audience-facing packaging or other forms of journalism designed to deepen engagement and retention. • Experience of video, audio, social or other multi-format journalism would be useful but is not essential. • Working knowledge of media law and editorial risk, with the confidence to flag concerns appropriately and seek guidance when required. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the professionalism to work calmly, accurately and constructively under pressure.
