Newsweek reaches 100 million people each month with thought-provoking news, opinion, images, graphics, and video delivered across a dozen print and digital platforms. Headquartered in New York City, Newsweek also publishes international editions in EMEA and Asia. \nJOB SUMMARY \nThe Editor, Subscriber Content is responsible for writing and helping to package fast, distinctive subscriber-first commentary that supports Newsweek's subscription proposition. Working within the subscriber content operation and under the direction of the Senior Editor, Subscriber Content, this role will focus on producing timely, high-value analysis and commentary on the major political, global, cultural and breaking-news stories that matter most to subscribers. \nThis is an execution-focused editorial role for a journalist with strong news judgment, sharp writing and the ability to turn fast-moving developments into clear, valuable commentary for a paying audience. The Editor will be expected to respond quickly to briefs, identify strong subscriber angles within the news agenda, and deliver engaging, clean, accurate copy under pressure, often to tight deadlines and during live news cycles. \nThe role is centered on subscription commentary rather than general news reporting. That means helping readers understand why a story matters, what has changed, what the stakes are, and how to interpret developments in a crowded news environment. The Editor should be able to move beyond summary by producing copy with a clear thesis, strong framing, a persuasive but fair point of view, and an approach that reflects Newsweek's standards and tone. \nThis role works under close editorial direction from senior staff. It is not a management or strategy role; instead, it is focused on strong day-to-day execution across writing, revision, packaging and support for the subscriber workflow. \nAlongside writing, the Editor will contribute to packaging, newsletter preparation and occasional support for other audience-facing formats where required. They will be expected to take direction well, revise accurately and work efficiently with colleagues to help ensure subscriber content is timely, well presented and ready for publication. \nThey will be responsible for ensuring high-quality coverage that is accurate, fair and conforms to accepted standards of journalism. They will perform any other reasonable duties as necessary to meet the needs of the business. \nThis is a full-time role, working Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend work. Working hours are normally 8am to 5pm UK time. You will be able to work from home, from anywhere in the UK or from our office space at Canary Wharf, London\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES \nWrite rapid, high-quality subscriber commentary on breaking, developing and agenda-setting news stories, with a particular focus on producing copy that adds interpretation, analysis and value rather than simply recapping events. \nIdentify subscriber-worthy angles on major stories across the United States and internationally, and develop them into sharp commentary pieces with a clear thesis, strong framing and an authoritative voice appropriate to Newsweek's standards. \nTurn around clean copy quickly under deadline pressure, including first drafts, rewrites and updates, while maintaining accuracy, clarity, balance and strong structure throughout. \nTake briefs and editorial direction from senior editors, and respond constructively to line edits and feedback, including revising intros, nutgraphs, headlines, structure, framing and emphasis where required. \nProduce commentary that explains why a story matters to subscribers by setting out the context, stakes, implications and next developments readers should watch. \nHelp package stories in CMS, including writing or refining headlines, decks, standfirsts, captions, links, keywords and other metadata so that subscriber content is complete and ready to publish quickly. \nWork with editors to ensure stories are visually and editorially complete at publication, including identifying suitable art, embeds, related links or other presentation elements where appropriate. \nAssist with the subscriber newsletter workflow, including suggesting stories, drafting summaries, writing display copy and helping prepare material under the direction of senior editors. \nProvide occasional support for other formats where requested, such as short videos, talking points or basic editorial input for audience-facing promotion of subscriber journalism. \nKeep abreast of the live news agenda and flag timely subscriber commentary opportunities or follow-up ideas to senior editors. \nApply sound media-law and standards judgment in day-to-day editorial decisions, including awareness of defamation, privacy, reporting restrictions, copyright and fair use, and escalate concerns quickly when needed. \nUse AI tools responsibly and in line with editorial best practice, including careful verification of outputs, appropriate disclosure or attribution where relevant, and strong human oversight of all published work. \nCollaborate with editorial, newsletters, video and audience colleagues where needed to execute assignments and support an organized subscriber workflow. \nPerform any other reasonable duties as necessary to meet the needs of the business. \nPERSON SPECIFICATION \nDemonstrable knowledge of the news agenda in the United States and internationally, with the judgment to recognize which developments are most likely to matter to a subscription audience. \nStrong experience writing quickly and accurately in a digital news environment, including under breaking-news pressure and to multiple deadlines in a shift. \nDemonstrable ability to write commentary, analysis or interpretive journalism that goes beyond summary and gives readers a clear, valuable take on events. \nGood sourcing instincts and a strong commitment to accuracy, fairness and transparency, including understanding when additional context, balance or stakeholder comment is needed. \nComfort with CMS publishing workflows and the editorial details that support publication quality, such as metadata, links, visuals, tags, captions and story presentation. \nDemonstrable interest in or experience with subscriber products, newsletters, audience-facing packaging or other forms of journalism designed to deepen engagement and retention. \nExperience of video, audio, social or other multi-format journalism would be useful but is not essential. \nWorking knowledge of media law and editorial risk, with the confidence to flag concerns appropriately and seek guidance when required. \nExcellent communication and collaboration skills, with the professionalism to work calmly, accurately and constructively under pressure. \nNewsweek is an equal opportunity employer. We seek employees of diverse backgrounds and are committed to providing an inclusive, equitable and respectful workplace.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7012,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Publishing","Digital Media"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T08:46:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.613,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":179,"expected_fill_days":123,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/newsweek-editor-subscriber-content","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/newsweek-editor-subscriber-content.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T05:40:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7429,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":11388},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11388"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnewsweek-editor-subscriber-content"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnewsweek-editor-subscriber-content"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnewsweek-editor-subscriber-content"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/newsweek-editor-subscriber-content\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnewsweek-editor-subscriber-content"}]}
