About Us

The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com is a fast-growing, multi-platform news organization with a deep commitment to journalism that reflects the joy of living in New Orleans, from the city’s vibrant food scene to its unique Mardi Gras traditions to its cutting-edge art scene. Our veteran features team includes some of the most experienced journalists covering culture in Louisiana, and we’re continuing to expand. In addition to our New Orleans newsroom, we operate newsrooms in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, and Lake Charles, giving us one of the most robust regional reporting networks in the state.

About the Role

  • Plan, edit and proof a daily print features section, an enhanced Sunday Living section, and a weekly entertainment tab. Manage content for special sections.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience editing in features, lifestyle journalism, or related fields.
  • Deep interest in New Orleans culture and well-honed storytelling sensibilities.
  • Excellent editorial judgment—strong writing, structure, tone, and attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with digital storytelling and audience trends.
  • A kind, collaborative leader who's equally strategic and hands-on.
