Job Description

TODAY Digital is seeking a versatile Writer/Editor who can seamlessly switch between writing original stories and editing content for TODAY.com. This role is ideal for a journalist who is self-starting, thrives in a fast-paced environment, has sharp editorial judgment and understands what resonates with a national audience.

This position is represented by the News Guild – NY CWA.

Writing & Editing

  • Easily flex between writing and editing. Some days you’re polishing, other days you’re chasing a story from pitch to publish.
  • Desire to connect and reach out to subjects and sourcing. 
  • Work independently and self-publish with assurance on weekends.
  • Uphold NBC News standards for accuracy, fairness, sourcing and reporting.
  • Apply strong attention to grammar, structure, facts, sourcing and tone.
  • Craft platform-centric headlines that work for search, social, partners, newsletters and homepage. 
  • Make sure every story has the right reporting, outreach and context — you should know your story better than anyone else.
  • Understand TODAY’s voice and ensure each story feels smart and on-brand. 

Newsroom Collaboration

  • Pitch constantly. You’re always scanning the internet and social feeds and using your own instincts and editorial compass.
  • Be active in Slack discussions, offering feedback and helping shape the day’s coverage.
  • Occasionally pursue reported features and help writers shape ideas.
  • Program content on social when needed.

Coverage Expectations

  • Work Wednesday through Sunday.
  • Work holidays as required, with comp time provided.
  • Be prepared to adjust hours or fill in for other editors when needed.
  • Support special coverage around high-priority events, like award shows and Olympics.
