Gizmodo is looking for an experienced writer and editor who can work independently on the weekends and evenings to cover breaking technology, science, tech policy, and tech culture news.
The Nights and Weekends Editor will work three weekday evenings (4pm – 11pm ET) and Saturday and Sunday (9am – 5pm ET). During the week, you’ll do a mix of writing your own stories and editing stories from our West Coast reporters. On the weekends, you’ll focus on fast, smart news writing.
You are a fit for this role if:
- You consistently file clean copy and have experience editing others
- You have a keen news sense and can identify stories that will resonate with our audience
- have a punchy writing voice and are familiar with Gizmodo’s general tone and subject areas
- You can self-direct, self-publish, and exercise strong editorial judgment while working solo during off-hours
- You bring sharp angles and fresh framing to the day’s headlines, with a sense of humor and wit that matches Gizmodo’s style
- You are familiar with the major players and trends in the tech world
- You have a strong grasp of media law and journalistic best practices
- You have the editorial sensibility to know when a story needs speed, when it needs depth, and when it needs both
This is a position covered under the collective bargaining agreement with the WGA-E. The salary range for this position is $70,000 – $85,000.
Gizmodo’s US office is located in NYC. We are open to both NYC-based and remote candidates.
