Digital Editor, Part Time

Toronto, ON, Canada

Job Description

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
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.

If you have an eye for detail and a passion for digital journalism, apply with a resume and cover letter stating why you would be a good fit for this role and why it appeals to you.
