Overview

Newsweek is the global media organization that has earned audience time and trust for more than 90 years. Newsweek reaches 100 million people each month with thought-provoking news, opinion, images, graphics, and video delivered across a dozen print and digital platforms. Headquartered in New York City, Newsweek also publishes international editions in EMEA and Asia.

Newsweek is seeking an experienced full-time Weekend News Editor to lead our coverage during critical weekend shifts. In this fast-paced, high-impact role, you’ll head timely, accurate, and engaging coverage of the stories that matter most to a U.S. and global audience—including politics, world events, breaking news, and trending topics.

The ideal candidate will possess superior news judgment with the ability to work independently or as a leader within a team, ensuring Newsweek consistently beats competitors to the most crucial stories and dominates digital news cycles. You’ll direct a team of reporters, pitch and assign stories, and oversee breaking news coverage through live blogs and rolling updates. You’ll also collaborate closely with our UK and U.S. news desks, working with other editors and senior leadership.

Your editorial creativity and technical skills will shine as you find, build, and deliver standout content—whether coverage involves a major court filing, Trump social post, international crisis, product recall, celebrity news, or severe weather alert. You’ll leverage technology and newsroom planning strategies to anticipate news, rather than simply react to it. Excellent SEO instincts and a commitment to visual storytelling are critical.

This role covers East Coast hours, Wednesday–Sunday, and may be remote within the U.S.

Mission

  • Don’t miss any story that matters to our audience. Beat the competition whenever possible and secure Newsweek’s place in the Google Top Stories carousel.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead weekend news coverage, prioritizing speed, accuracy, and unique editorial perspectives.
  • Find, commission, write, edit, and publish timely stories on a range of subjects (politics, world, business, entertainment, etc.).
  • Produce, edit, and advance breaking news stories and live blogs from scratch.
  • Monitor newswires, TV, podcasts, social media, and search trends to surface storylines and anticipate news cycles.
  • Manage and develop a team of reporters, ensuring consistency and quality control.
  • Use SEO and visual storytelling best practices to maximize impact and reach.
  • Foster a proactive newsroom culture using planning and pre-writing systems for breaking news.
  • Collaborate closely with other Newsweek editors in the U.S. and UK.
  • Uphold Newsweek’s standards of accuracy, fairness, and responsible journalism in every piece of content.
  • Set engaging headlines and lead images to drive readership.
  • Carry out other reasonable duties as required to meet business needs.

    • Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years’ journalism experience, with editorial leadership or team management responsibilities.
  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related field.
  • Exceptional news judgment, editing, and headline-writing skills.
  • Experience leading breaking news coverage, as well as producing, editing, and publishing breaking news stories.
  • Strong familiarity with SEO, analytics, visual storytelling, and trending content tools.
  • Ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines.
  • Proactive, organized, and adaptable; adept at both collaboration and independent work.
  • Experience managing or working within digital newsrooms, including remote or hybrid teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

    • Salary range : $95,000 - $105,000 commensurate with experience

    Newsweek is an equal opportunity employer. We seek employees of diverse backgrounds and are committed to providing an inclusive, equitable and respectful workplace.
