About KHN and KFF:
KHN (Kaiser Health News) is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues. With a staff of 80 reporters, editors, web producers, and photographers/videographers in California, DC, Georgia, Missouri, Colorado, and Montana, plus dozens more freelance columnists, animators, web developers, photographers, and videographers around the nation, KHN is committed to in-depth reporting on health policy news. Together with Policy Analysis and Polling, KHN is one of the three major operating programs at KFF. KFF is an endowed nonprofit organization providing information on health issues to the nation. KFF serves as a nonpartisan source of facts, information, and analysis for policymakers, the media, the health care community, and the public. It has no connection with Kaiser Permanente.

KHN provides this coverage on khn.org as well as in partnership with other news organizations, including NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Times, USA Today, CNN, NBC, and a host of other media outlets. KHN has won numerous journalism awards for its coverage. All material is provided free of charge. In addition to publishing in-depth articles on new developments in the health care system and on national and local health care initiatives and debates, KHN also produces daily briefings summarizing news coverage of health policy. For more than a decade, these reports have provided readers with daily updates on how the media are covering U.S. health care policy.

Position Summary:
You will join KHN’s entrepreneurial and ambitious Broadcast and On-Demand team as co-editor of Health Care in the States: the longtime reporting partnership between KHN, NPR and its member stations, which has for more than a decade produced compelling radio and feature-length web stories on health policy, while offering training and support to a generation of health journalists.

In 2023, together you and your counterpart from NPR’s Science Desk will manage and shape the next phase of the collaboration.

• Identify, recruit, and manage relationships with radio station managers, news directors and reporters eager to participate in the collaboration.
• Manage story assignments to help KHN and NPR report on health policy from underserved markets around the country.
• Edit radio and digital stories for edge and impact. We’re seeking a radio native who can also shepard digital articles edited to stand on their own with a nut graph and structure specific to the needs of a print story.
• Monitor health policy trends to spot state and regional news that can be amplified for a national audience to add insight, new angles, and depth of coverage.
• Proactively communicate with member-station reporters to shape ideas, help interpret health policy events, find sources, frame angles and structure stories
• Urge station reporters to tackle the stories most critical to their local communities and regions.
• Commission and craft health policy training opportunities throughout the year - via tele-meetings, and in-person at the annual gathering of member-station reporters

For the right candidate, this could be a “coach-player” position. In that scenario, you will work primarily as an editor, but several times a year suit up and pinch-hit as a reporter, or lead a pinwheel reporting assignment with two or three member station journalists.

In addition to your work on Health Care in the States, at KHN, you will:

• Write or edit spot-length health stories for our commercial radio partners, based on KHN’s digital stories.
• Assist in radio edits, 2-way scripting, and project management for Bill of the Month, the crowdsourced partnership with NPR and CBS.
• Lead radio-writing training sessions for KHN’s digital journalists
• Add your editorial expertise as we plan in-house limited series podcasts.
• Occasionally help vet pitches and develop audio collaborations with outside media partners.
• Occasionally join podcast listening and critique sessions

This full-time position will be based in KFF’s Washington, DC office, located downtown near Metro Center. KFF is currently working a hybrid schedule and requires all staff to work in the office a minimum of 2 days a week, with a longer-term hybrid policy of 3 days a week.

Preferred:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• 3+ years reporting/editing health or health care stories
• 3+ years writing/editing short features and news spots for radio or audio.
• 2+ years or equivalent experience as a newsroom manager or editor
• Deep understanding of NPR programming and the requirements of the radio clock
• An ability to organize, prioritize, and maintain high-quality work amid competing deadlines, and to take initiative and solve problems.
• A commitment to diplomatic and constructive critique
• A coach’s attitude when working with journalists of diverse experience levels: from a reporter crafting their first story for national radio to a veteran who will undoubtedly teach you a thing or two.
• Skill building relationship with, inspiring and guiding the work of reporters and colleagues in newsrooms across the country, who are not your direct reports.
• A health policy news devotee, ready to preach the gospel of translating health policy into people-centered storytelling.
• Someone who knows the storytelling power of a tightly crafted 3:45 radio feature — and the equal news value of a :45 spot story that reaches millions of listeners.
• A healthy sense of humor
• Someone who writes with lots of voice and personality when a story calls for it
• A command of radio-writing craft that is so ingrained that you can compassionately teach those skills to others.

Compensation:
The annual salary range for this position is between $110,000 and $140,000. Offers are based on the candidate's years of experience and KFF’s practice of upholding salary equity. KFF also offers a generous, comprehensive benefits package.

Brookline.News, an independent, nonprofit news organization dedicated to providing local coverage to this diverse, engaged town of 65,000 on Boston’s border, seeks a founding editor-in-chief. We’re a startup, so that title encompasses a broad range of skills: 

Managing. The successful candidate will help hire and manage a senior reporter and a roster of freelancers, working with them to develop story ideas, make assignments, edit, take photos with a smart phone, write headlines, captions and other display type, and post to our WordPress content management system. Working with the Board of Directors and the Steering Committee, the founding editor-in-chief will chart the course for news coverage and help guide the editorial direction of the organization. The successful candidate will have five years of experience in a newsroom, with a demonstrable record of managing newsroom employees in a fast-paced, ever-changing setting. Brookline.News has two additional goals, and the founding editor-in-chief will be a full partner in reaching them: to train a next generation of journalists and to create a regional ecosystem for hyperlocal news outlets by developing a support network to share start-up advice and journalistic, business, and fundraising best practices, as well as collaborating when appropriate on stories of wider regional interest. The founding editor-in-chief should approach this job with that collaborative spirit in mind and have some experience guiding interns or emerging journalists. 

Writing. The founding editor-in-chief is, in essence, a player-coach, and must be able not only to rigorously edit and fact-check the work of others but to write clearly and quickly on deadline, whether focusing on breaking news, features, or enterprise and investigative work. The expected range of stories will include coverage of town government and politics, schools, housing and economic development, environment and health, diversity and inclusion, arts and entertainment, and everyday Brookline residents and businesses. The ideal candidate for this position is resourceful and unflappable, able to edit and write with an eye for accuracy and fairness—correcting any errors quickly and transparently—and able to think more broadly about how stories might be enhanced with multimedia components. This person should be well-versed in AP style and ascribe to the ethical principles developed by Brookline.News and posted on our website.

Audience engagement. In order to establish a strong feedback channel with the Brookline community, the founding editor-in-chief should be adept at using current social media platforms and willing to embrace those that may emerge in the future. The successful candidate should be familiar with the metrics used to measure readership on all platforms and be aware of audience trends. The founding editor-in-chief will also be part of regular live reader forums as well as other events and must be open to listening deeply to feedback, opinions, and story ideas from the community. As the newsroom leader and public face of Brookline.News, this person must have a robust presence in the community and be able to remain dispassionate, analytical, and objective when faced with criticism from readers. Some night and weekend work may be required, as news demands. Preference will be given to candidates who live in the Greater Boston area and have a connection to Brookline.

Salary range. This job comes with a competitive salary as well as an annual cost-of-living raise and a stipend for health benefits. A computer and cell-phone stipend will be supplied. This job will have 10 days of paid time off per year, five days of paid sick leave, and up to 12 weeks of paid family leave. Support for professional training and attending industry conferences will be offered. Brookline.News has media insurance and is represented by a Boston-based attorney with a significant media law practice.

Brookline.News is committed to diversity, inclusion, and belonging and encourages members of underrepresented communities to apply.
 
To apply. Please share your resume and a short cover letter that tells us about you and about your vision for this job and email to editorsearch@brookline.news or send via US postal service to Brookline.News, ℅ Ellen Clegg, clerk, 71 Saint Mary’s Street, Unit 2, Brookline, MA 02446.

Vaccination Statement. 
We require that all Brookline.News employees be vaccinated from COVID-19 unless an exemption from this policy has been granted as an accommodation. All employees must provide proof of vaccination status.

Employees may request a reasonable accommodation or other exemption from this policy by contacting the Board of Directors. Failure to comply with or enforce any part of this policy, or misrepresentation of compliance with this policy, may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment, subject to reasonable accommodation and other requirements of applicable federal, state, and local law.

Statement on racial equity, inclusion, diversity, and belonging. 
Brookline.News is an equal employment opportunity employer, and does not discriminate on the basis of race, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, ancestry, genetic information, military or veteran status, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition or any other protected characteristic.

ABOUT THIS POSITION:
This position is a unique hybrid of Wyoming Public Media journalist and Buffalo Bill Center of the West multi-platform content producer.

The selected candidate will cover Wyoming and regional west topics, and also produce innovative digital media content focusing on the museum’s informational and educational goals.

Chaloner has partnered with the Chronicle of Philanthropy on their search for an Editor-in-Chief.

About the Chronicle  
The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the premier journalistic newsroom covering the $6 trillion world of nonprofits and foundations, seeks an experienced, ambitious, and innovative editor-in-chief to oversee a significant expansion of its editorial operations. The Chronicle plans to double the size of its newsroom over the next five years, extend its storytelling capabilities on more platforms, build a commons that enables rigorous debate of important issues in the nonprofit world, and expand its collaboration with a range of other journalism organizations around the country and around the globe.    

Today, the Chronicle’s website, webinars, and monthly magazine provide news and analysis, trends updates, opinion essays, advice, data, and other information that nonprofit professionals, foundation executives, philanthropists, board members, and others rely on to make decisions and better understand how to deal with challenges and get results that advance the common good.   

The Chronicle also plays a critical role in helping the public better understand the impact of the social sector. Its partnership with the Associated Press enables many Chronicle news articles to reach a global audience, and its fellowship program — about to enter its second year — provides local news outlets the skills and coaching they need to put the spotlight on organizations supported by governments, corporations, wealthy donors, and everyday Americans.  

Because the social sector demands more attention and scrutiny, the Chronicle announced in 2022 that it had adopted an extensive plan for growth so it could expand its reach. It has raised more than $6 million to become an independent nonprofit organization. We chose the nonprofit structure because it allows us to focus our journalism even more keenly on social impact. That is the key responsibility of the new Editor-in-Chief, who will report to Stacy Palmer, a founding editor of the Chronicle who has been named CEO and will now oversee the entire organization.    

Our newsroom, which now has 21 staff members, prides itself on its independence, excellence in reporting, and collaboration among staff members. It is committed to attracting a diverse workforce and reaching out to the people, organizations, and regions of the United States that are too often overlooked by journalists and by organized philanthropy.  The editor-in-chief will lead talented, creative, and compassionate people covering an essential part of society — and usher in growth and transformation — offering an unparalleled opportunity in journalism.  

About the Opportunity  
As Editor-in-Chief, you’ll lead journalists in shining a light on one of the most important yet little understood spheres of society.   

One in 11 Americans works for organizations like the Salvation Army, the World Wildlife Fund, the ACLU, the NAACP, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Dana Farber Cancer Center, and Stanford University.   

But unlike in business, government, law, and other spheres, journalists do little to show how those organizations operate or how corporations, foundations, wealthy philanthropists, and others fund social-change efforts on issues including climate change, racial justice, health care, poverty, and education.   

Your priority as leader of the Chronicle’s newsroom will be to ensure decision makers, donors, volunteers, voters, and others better understand the important contributions nonprofits make, and explain the hurdles they encounter. You’ll oversee accountability and explanatory stories, as well as in-depth projects designed to ensure tax-exempt institutions live up to their responsibilities to society. And you’ll work to build our opinion and commentary section to ensure new ideas get attention and debate.   

What’s more, you’ll help ensure that our editorial team provides leaders of these organizations — and other nonprofit professionals — with the news, trend analyses, forecasting, and benchmarking they need to achieve greater impact. Service journalism is a key part of our mission, and you will be committed to helping our audience do their job better by providing news and insight.  

You’ll collaborate with our business and tech teams to develop new ways to serve our audiences (newsletters, podcasts, videos, and more) and to ensure our digital presence keeps up with our audience’s needs and preferences.   

When we asked our staff what was important in the new editor, they urged us to find a leader who: 

• Powerfully offers a clear vision of what comes next, understanding and respecting our strengths, helping us move into new areas, leading our storytelling in new ways, and making smart strategic choices about the needs of our audience.
• Has a track record of leading outstanding journalists and is committed to making sure every editorial decision is made with integrity.
• Collaborates naturally while respecting the individual skills that each reporter and editor brings to the table and enables a distributed newsroom to connect and unite to produce strong content.
• Works adroitly with other organization leaders, including the CEO, chief revenue officer, and chief technology officer.
• Understands audience engagement and what it takes to get sustained attention on digital platforms. 

We prefer candidates who have a strong knowledge of the social sector, but it is also helpful to have a background in covering business, government, or key areas that are important in the nonprofit world, such as education, health care, or the environment.  

This is a fully remote position.  

Responsibilities     

Lead & Innovate in Our Newsroom

• Work with the CEO to establish editorial vision, strategy, and goals, communicating them to all newsroom staff, and translating them into clear and compelling priorities for reporters and editors to pursue high-impact journalism.
• Motivate, develop, coach, and inspire editorial staff.
• Manage day-to-day affairs of the newsroom, working with the CEO and business leaders to deploy editorial resources effectively to implement the Chronicle’s strategy and goals and meet budget goals.
• Uphold and communicate journalistic quality, ethics, and standards and work with leaders throughout the organization to ensure that all of our work on all platforms demonstrates a commitment to integrity and social impact. 
• Establish and refine the editorial organizational structure in partnership with the CEO:
  • Delegate tasks appropriately to senior leaders to strengthen the newsroom and empower journalists and editors.
  • Work with editors to set story priorities, ensure day-to-day operations run smoothly, and provide top edits for stories that deserve extra attention. 
  • Define and communicate roles and responsibilities across the newsroom: make decisions on whom to hire and promote and how to ensure all staff members are performing at their best.   
  • Carry out equitable and effective hiring and promotion practices to ensure our staff have the diverse backgrounds and perspectives that we need to serve our audiences well.
• Bring new ideas and an entrepreneurial spirit to continuously refine and streamline the newsroom process.
• Provide vision for the brand, look, feel and voice of the Chronicle’s editorial products and keep focusing on ways to make our journalism inviting, informative, and compelling:
  • Collaborate with visual and story editors to make engaging headlines, photography, clean design, and informative, easy-to-read graphics a key part of our storytelling.
  • Build new skills among newsroom members so we can provide video, audio, and other platforms that meet the needs of our audience.
  • Represent the Chronicle to external audiences, including at conferences and events, and to other media, acting as both an expert analyst of the nonprofit sector and a leading thinker about how journalism can better improve coverage of the nonprofit world.  

Expand Audiences and Products  

• Guide strategies for producing work that builds and expands existing and new Chronicle audiences in partnership with the revenue, audience, and product teams.
• Ensure overall excellence of editorial products and reader experience while focusing sharply on audience knowledge, trends, needs, engagement, and expansion.
• Shape ideas for new editorial-driven products, such as newsletters and podcasts, that can help us better serve our audiences and enhance our revenue opportunities.
• Work with the CEO and CRO to identify and champion event and audience opportunities to extend the brand and ensure that editorial content in these venues is consistently strong.
• Get to know top and emerging leaders in the nonprofit and foundation world and represent the editorial team at industry conferences and in meetings with potential sponsors of content that allow us to sustain and expand our news organization.
• Work with the CEO and partnerships editor to develop strategic relationships with other media organizations and nonprofit associations. 

Qualifications  

• At least five years of proven success in leading an exceptional journalism organization, and a minimum of 10 years of reporting and editing experience. You should demonstrate that you are capable of overseeing a broad range of work: investigative, explanatory, news, opinion, and service journalism.
• Passion for issues that drive the nonprofit world; experience as a journalist covering these issues or as a staff member at a nonprofit will help you excel in this role.
• Experience serving an audience of professionals, especially those who focus on education, the environment, social sector, or other parts of the nonprofit world is a plus.
• Solid experience in digital innovation and managing a multi-platform news operation and using analytics to track progress.
• Experience with visual storytelling and interest in editorial design and photography.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm for collaborating with business colleagues to develop ideas that can advance growth while maintaining editorial integrity.
• Highest journalistic and personal ethics.
• Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Exceptional leadership skills and emotional intelligence.
• Track record building cultures where excellence and humane leadership go hand-in-hand.
