This team has an insatiable appetite for breaking news and fast-moving stories. They cover some of the biggest political stories of the day, getting us rolling with speed and accuracy. 

The Daily 

This position is primarily a breaking news writer role, and the ideal candidate will: 
  • You’ll be writing politics breaking news pieces. 
  • You’ll pitch stories and collaborate with team members on daily news priorities. 
  • You’ll work quickly to familiarize yourself with the major players in any breaking story. 
The Essentials

  • Willingness to work nights and weekends. Flexibility with your schedule, to account for major breaking news events, is vital to this role. 
  • Experience, comfort, and a thirst for breaking news stories is a must. This is not a features-writing, investigative or beat reporting role. An ideal candidate not only can juggle stories on a wide array of topics but thrives in such an environment. 
  • Sharp and fast writer with the ability to write a headline, and a sharp, precise paragraph that captures the essence of the story. 
  • Strong collaborator and communicator as we are a truly cross-functional team that works with nearly every desk and department across teams and bureaus. 
  • Ability to work quickly under pressure and collaborate closely with others is essential.
