NYC - 1211 Ave of the Americas Full timeJob Req 50997 Job Description: The Wall Street Journal's Weekend & WSJ. Magazine team is seeking a dynamic and experienced business features editor to help identify, assign and shepherd lively, big-picture weekend reads springing from the most gripping corporate and financial stories of the day. Working collaboratively with reporters on the Weekend team and with those on other news teams, the ideal candidate is a self-starting editor experienced in fast-paced news-feature coverage with a talent for concepting and creating memorable, shareable and visual stories about the consumer culture, business personalities and macro trends in the global economy. A knowledge of how to shape and pinpoint stepback, character-driven narratives that touch the corporate world is essential, as is the ability to bulletproof fast-moving news stories on deadline with sourcing, legal and ethical considerations. The Journal's Weekend teams blend deep reporting, sharp wit and good taste to create compulsively readable quick-turn stories, timely analysis pieces and enterprise features on the subjects of lifestyle, entertainment, culture and ideas. Stories from this team offer a lively lens on the zeitgeist, drawing connections between events and trends in the culture to form original, big-picture theses about the present moment. Editors on the team are also expected to conceive, assign and edit long-lead stories-think exclusive sit-down interviews and juicy narrative storytelling-for WSJ. Magazine. You will: * Assign, edit and bulletproof multiple stories per week that speak to stepback, weekend-reading appetites-what is the larger picture or bigger thesis? What is the unknown story or hidden character drama in this headline or brand name? * Work with news reporters around the newsroom in the Journal's New York and global bureaus to come in on the biggest news stories of the day. * Coach reporters to see around corners, and personally uncover stories no one else is chasing, developing them into juicy features and engaging reads. * Push to amplify traditional profiles, trend or event stories with humanizing detail and great eye for shareable, well-crafted narrative that shows potential
