NOTUS Newsroom


NOTUS is a unique place: Every year, 10 fellows from the Allbritton Journalism Institute come and work in our newsroom as reporters alongside some of the most accomplished journalists working in Washington today. We’ve built a nonpartisan publication to cover government and politics with the fresh approach of newcomers and the expertise of veterans — and we believe, now more than ever, in the value of honest reporting on the news of the United States.

Current job openings:

Senior Editor

About the role: We’re looking for a Senior Editor who is eager to help shape our ambitious coverage of Capitol Hill. You’ll lead a team of experienced reporters — as well as train up-and-coming journalists on the ins and outs of Capitol Hill — to bring essential, fresh stories to NOTUS readers. You should have a deep knowledge of politics, preferably with experience as an editor or reporter covering the Hill.

Capitol Hill coverage feeds into almost every part of our newsroom — so you’ll need to be organized, collaborative and a great communicator. Working closely with other Senior Editors and Managing Editors, you’ll help plot out our daily and weekly publishing schedule and plan Hill coverage around major events.

You’ll have big ideas on how to drive the news cycle, how to help reporters break news and how to frame the big political battles so our stories cut through the noise.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in journalism.
  • Strong interest in and knowledge of politics, especially Capitol Hill.
  • Mentorship experience either as a reporter or editor.
  • Strong communication skills and an ability to work with experienced and newer journalists alike.

How to apply: Please send a resume and a few hundred words on why you’d be good for the job to careers@notus.org.
