Pagemasters North America (PMNA) is seeking a part-time digital editor who can work in a fast-paced, high-pressure news environment.
In this position, you will:
- Respond quickly to breaking news and multi-task under pressure
- See what others don't: Whether it's a typo, an ambiguous statement, an unexpected photo choice or an op-ed that doesn't align with the client's values, you see the whole picture and will speak up when something isn't right
- Always adapt: News is always changing and you will need to be able to switch tasks and reprioritize on a moment's notice
- Learn quickly and apply client's style rules and preferences, as well as their values and editorial standards
- Work both independently and collaboratively
- Be flexible and adapt to changing client standards/needs
Requirements
- Experience editing and publishing news stories for a digital audience
- An ability to package stories with clear, engaging headlines and display copy, as well as integrating images, video and other elements for maximum impact
- Knowledge of SEO and online news best practices
- Strong news judgement: An ability to identify important stories quickly
- Solid copy editing skills
- A broad range of interests and knowledge of current events
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Two or more years of experience in journalism or a related field
- Be flexible to work evenings and weekends, including most Fridays and Sundays
While most of our editors are based in Toronto and Calgary, this role can be remote within Canada. PMNA operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year — some evening, weekend and holiday shifts are required, particularly Fridays and Sundays.
If you have an eye for detail and a passion for digital journalism, apply by
Sunday, July 21, with a resume and cover letter stating why you would be a good fit for this role and why it appeals to you.
