Monitor news sources, PR firm announcements, and internal tips to maintain a competitive and timely flow of stories

Maintain CO’s high editorial standards for accuracy, competitiveness, and impact

4–7 years of editorial experience in a newsroom or trade publication, preferably with some background in real estate, business, or city politics

Demonstrated ability to manage and motivate reporters while shaping daily coverage strategy

Solid line-editing and headline-writing skills with strong news judgment

Understanding of SEO best practices, tagging, and analytics-driven content performance

Comfort working in a fast-paced newsroom environment and juggling multiple priorities

Deep knowledge of New York City and its key players in commercial real estate, city government, and development policy

Strong attention to detail, high standards for accuracy, and a proactive, get-it-done

attitude

A collaborative mindset and passion for breaking news, clean copy, and staying ahead of

the competition

Work Schedule & Location

This is an in-person role based in NYC, with three to four days per week in the office

Fridays are remote; an additional flexible WFH day is available

Candidates should be available during core newsroom hours and bring a strong presence to the team, especially when onboarding

What Makes a Candidate Stand Out

Curiosity, hustle, and a strong desire to "own" the NYC beat

Passion for timely, accurate journalism with impact—not just chasing clicks

An instinct for spotting great stories and helping reporters sharpen them

A love for the news cycle and a competitive edge when it comes to beating other outlets
