The Standards and Policy Editor works with the Nexstar corporate content team to ensure that the company’s journalism adheres to the highest standards of the profession. The successful candidate will serve on the standards team, which defines the best practices for our reporting — how it’s collected, how it’s written, and how it’s presented to the communities we work in.

From setting sourcing expectations to enforcing style decisions to training and mentoring, this editor will have the ability to positively affect hundreds of journalists in newsrooms touching nearly every state, in both local and national publications. Daily activities will focus on content quality review, corrections triage, and proactive problem prevention.

A strong knowledge of broadcast and digital journalism is required, as well as fluency in all platforms. Applicants should have the highest ethical standards and bring demonstrable leadership experience, preferably managing a newsroom. A BA in journalism, communications or writing — or education in a similar field — is required. A reporting background is preferred.

This position will be based inside a Nexstar newsroom. On-call work after hours and on weekends is required.
