Job description

Who We Are:

The Dallas Express was founded in 2021 to fill a void in our Metroplex communities for fact-based, non-opinion news. We believe that news should be reported dispassionately to place emphasis on facts over all else. News reports can be direct and even hard-edged, but they should never be “spun” or carry editorial opinions to suit the political persuasions of our reporters or editors.

Responsibilities and duties:

  • Copy edit and line edit stories for publication in The Dallas Express.
  • Verify sourcing and factual basis of all stories. Maintain a close eye for plagiarism and other journalistic missteps.
  • Engage with writers to ensure necessary feedback is communicated clearly and constructively, and content sent to managing editors is ready for publication.
  • Provide meticulous attention to detail.
  • Communicate clearly any constructive and necessary feedback for writers.
  • Additional duties may include formatting articles in Word Press, sourcing appropriate photographs, creating captions for social media, etc.

Expected Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience.
  • 1 year experience in news editing. Background in fast-paced breaking news, government/politics, or city reporting preferred. Copy editing experience a plus.
  • A compelling command of the English language and the ability to find errors, fix grammar and proofread with ease.
  • The commitment and stamina to work whenever and wherever there is a need to get stories ready for publishing.
  • The ability to work and manage effectively within time constraints and deadlines.
  • The independence of a self-starter while still collaborating with a close-knit team.
  • Experience with content management systems, WordPress, and other key tools of online journalism a plus.
  • Located in or willing to move to Dallas, Texas.

Salary & Benefits:

  • Salary range of $40,000 to $60,000.
  • The Dallas Express offers health and dental insurance, 401(k), and paid time off.
