SAJA Job Listings: Compiled by Maha Atal

The Post’s Outlook section is in the market for a new deputy editor. The
ideal candidate will be passionate about ideas and debates on politics,
foreign policy, science, business, race and culture; eager to dial up the
world’s top thinkers, writers and artists and mold their work into snappy
essays, narratives and graphics; and obsessed with driving the Washington
conversation — in print and online — in new and unexpected directions.
Experience in a range of media, whether Web or radio or magazine or
television, is a big plus. Top-notch editing skills and a collegial,
team-first attitude are a must.

Outlook occupies a unique perch in Post journalism. We meld reporting,
commentary and narrative, and work with contributors inside and outside
the newsroom. The deputy editor is a full partner in leading,
conceptualizing and editing Outlook on a weekly basis. We are casting a
wide net for this position. Candidates should be ready to offer a critique
of Outlook as well fully-formed ideas for pieces and features and writers
that could appear in Outlook in the weeks and months ahead. (Tip over some
sacred cows and you’ll get our attention fast.) Anyone interested should
contact Carlos Lozada - lozadac@washpost.com or
Peter Perl - perlp@washpost.com by October 1.

Executive Editor - Wires & Row, CNN Row
This very senior position within the CNN newsroom requires a broad world
view, exceptional news judgment, writing, editing and diplomatic skills.
This Executive Editor must possess a thorough understanding of
journalism ethics, libel and fair use law. He or she must be a natural
leader, but be willing to work within a very collegial structure.
Applicants should have at least ten years experience, including both
field newsgathering and news production. Copy-editing and reporter
script supervision experience is a must.

The Executive Editor is responsible for day-to-day management of the
Row, CNN’s correspondent script approval and vetting operation, and The
CNN Wire, the company’s internal system for distributing editorial
information. The Executive Editor coordinates closely with all the CNN
networks’ program producers and the domestic and international
assignment desks to ensure consistency in our reporting content.

The Executive Editor sets priorities for the Row team and help provide
editorial leadership for the network. Working with the Executive
Producers on the Row team, the Executive Editor will supervise and
engage in the checking of scripts for clarity, story-telling, balance,
compliance with CNN standards and legal requirements.
Working with the shift-leaders, copy-editors and writers, the Executive
Editor will ensure the quality of the offerings from the CNN Wire, help
set priorities on which stories the wires team covers, and advocate for
the CNN Wire clients within the unit.

The Pulitzer-Prize winning Point Reyes Light needs a Managing Editor
who is excessively capable of leading the editorial department on a
day-to-day basis. But most importantly, the Managing Editor should
have a brain whose synaptic firing could power a favela slum, and
whose creative generation is perpetual and fun.

I want an Managing Editor who will approach his job like the editor
of the New York Times Week in Review section, or the front of the
book of Harper’s or the Atlantic. I am seeking a Mandarin who could
edit the Economist and write Talk of the Town pieces on the side.

In addition to creatively managing, the applicant should also be able
to report and write opinion pieces.

I need someone brilliant and fun who can start right away.

Please email a cover letter, resume and ten of your best clips to:
jobs@ptreyeslight.com.

A reporting position is being offered at the Pulitzer Prize-winning
Point Reyes Light, located in Marin County, CA., north of San
Francisco. The newspaper is looking for a literary journalist who
plans on becoming the next Orwell, Kapuscinski or Didion.

It is a mighty-mite of a paper. This year, the newspaper was

advertisers or illiterates. Exemplary stories and photographs will be
submitted for the full panoply of awards. You will be encouraged to
win the Light another Pulitzer.

Applicants should be experienced newspaper or magazine writers. A
graduate degree in journalism from Columbia, NYU, Medill, Berkeley or
