As a core part of our news operation, you’ll help set daily priorities with editors and confidently identify what deserves coverage on your own.

The ideal candidate knows exactly what a sharp headline looks like: clever without being cutesy, clear without being dull, urgent without being overwrought. You’ll also collaborate with a senior editor to co-host our flagship daily newsletter, the Mother Jones Daily, contributing incisive takes on top national headlines and helping highlight our features and investigations.
