Job Description : WalesOnline is looking for a News Editor to join one of the UK’s biggest and best regional news websites. You will have a key role in shaping WalesOnline’s content, reputation and success, working closely with reporters and other news editors to devise, publish and promote outstanding content every day. You will be on top of news the moment it breaks and also work closely with Reach plc’s fast-paced central content unit, commissioning and receiving ideas and stories from them. It’s a hugely exciting role at the heart of what is by far the biggest news website in Wales. You will promote excellence across our website and social media platforms and have oversight of our overall performance against key overall metrics. You will be an experienced journalist with a detailed understanding of how and where different audiences can be found, and how this translates to content decisions. This is a senior job which will give you the chance to be a leader in the newsroom, be innovative in storytelling and social media posts and encourage the same behaviour and skills in others. You will get to work on breaking news of major significance to our audiences. We are looking for journalists who are curious to find out what’s going on around them, to answer the questions our readers want answered, who find time to listen to conversations and ask what they can add, and who believe journalism does its best when it is read by as many people as possible. You’ll want to deliver stories which make people come back to our site time and again. We’re looking for fresh ideas and new perspectives from people from a wide range of backgrounds, and we want you to tell us the stories you believe are important from our many communities so we can continue to diversify our content.
So, who are we?
We are Reach plc, you might not have heard of us but we have probably met without you even realising it. We are home to the UK and Ireland’s most iconic digital platforms, magazines and newspapers. From the Mirror, Daily Express and OK!, to our regional titles such as the Liverpool Echo, BirminghamLive and the Manchester Evening News (plus lots more), our brands and the stories we cover are as varied as our people. We help all kinds of people share experiences through our stories because we believe this is what makes us human. Oh, and we should probably also mention that with a monthly readership of 47 million people, Reach is the largest commercial publisher in the UK. At Reach, not only will you feel better understood, you will also feel you understand other people better too.
