Strengthening and empowering all of the communities we serve.

 


State House/Politics Editor

 

Ohio politics are never boring. At cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer , we have no shortage of stories to tell. We are seeking a political editor with a proven record of breaking news and producing enterprise that illuminates issues and drives change. The right candidate can break down complex state-level politics and help reporters explain why the latest bill matters to readers and what a Supreme Court decision means.

 

We don't want equivocating he-said, she-said stories. We're digging for the truth in a supermajority state legislature where pay-to-play is a constant concern.

You could be based in Cleveland or Columbus and would manage a Washington DC reporter, chief political writer, education reporter and two government reporters, in both Columbus and Cleveland.

 

The base salary range is $70,000 - 85,000 per year.

 

You should apply to be our State House/Politics Editor if you:


  • Are passionate about politics

  • Are not afraid to ask tough questions and hold government officials accountable

  • Want to break news

  • Can translate the minutiae of a budget into digestible, impactful stories

  • Can work with efficiency, creativity, accuracy, and good judgment

  • Can collaborate with other editors to develop your own story ideas, as well as assignments

Ideal candidate will bring the following knowledge and skills:


  • Degree in journalism, communications, or related field

  • 5 years+ journalism experience with proven ability in reporting, writing and editing.

  • Ability to work independently under deadline pressure and prioritize tasks appropriately

  • Solid understanding of news writing, journalistic ethics, and story structure

  • This job requires reliable transportation to meet with sources and cover events.
