Sharp instincts for the ways that ideas about culture intersect with everything else: politics, history, technology, identity, business, and everyday life. Familiarity with digital storytelling formats. Experience working with talent. Highly skilled at every aspect of editing — from structuring episodes and pacing to line editing and shaping host conversations to guiding group edits and editorial brainstorms. Belief in The New York Times's mission and a strong commitment to journalistic independence, fairness and accuracy. Preferred
