3 weeks ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Associated Press Full time

The Associated Press is a globally recognized news organization committed to delivering accurate and timely reporting. Established in 1846, AP continues to be a trusted source for fast, precise, and impartial news across various formats, serving as a crucial provider of technology and services essential to the news industry. Over half of the world's population engages with AP journalism daily.

The Associated Press is in search of a skilled and adaptable text editor to enhance its international editing team. This role, based in London and reporting to the deputy director for global text, involves working on a diverse array of stories, ranging from urgent news to in-depth features, as part of a text production team that publishes content from around the globe. You will collaborate closely with news managers and journalists worldwide to ensure that AP's content is accurate, timely, distinctive, and creatively presented for a global audience.

Key Responsibilities: In this position, you will ensure that breaking news is published promptly, effectively guiding accurate reporting to AP members and clients. You will swiftly evaluate the essence of a story, pinpointing areas that require elaboration or gaps that need addressing, striving to enhance the reporting and writing so that it resonates with all of AP's audiences. As a cooperative team member, you will cover a variety of topics and work with reporters globally, and may occasionally be tasked with reporting breaking news from the desk. Additionally, you may be called upon to identify and verify significant user-generated content, create engaging social media promotions, and utilize digital tools to present stories in innovative ways.

We are looking for candidates who will:

  • Collaborate with a team of journalists, reporters, and editors to deliver impactful news coverage that is exclusive to AP.
  • Exhibit strong communication skills and work collaboratively with a diverse team of journalists at AP, who operate across all formats: text, photo, video, audio, digital/social, interactive, and graphics.
  • Possess a keen news sense, with the ability to convey stories that are shareable on social media and other platforms.
  • Pursue innovative and inclusive coverage while upholding AP's standards for integrity and objectivity.

Preferred Qualifications: We seek an exceptional text editor who is passionate about guiding both urgent news and in-depth stories to publication, and who enjoys assisting reporters in articulating complex narratives in clear and engaging ways. You should be capable of supporting reporters throughout the reporting, writing, and presentation processes, including collaboration with colleagues in remote locations. You thrive in fast-paced environments and can quickly adapt priorities.

Required Qualifications:

  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, such as at least one year of full-time work at a daily newspaper, broadcast station, online or digital news outlet, or an AP bureau or regional desk.
  • All applicants must have the ability to work in the UK or obtain the necessary permissions.
  • Advanced-level professional proficiency in written and spoken English. Proficiency in an additional language is advantageous.
  • The willingness and ability to work any shift, including nights and weekends, as AP operates 24/7.

We welcome strong candidates who may not meet every listed qualification. A cover letter can be used to highlight the unique qualifications you would bring to this role.

AP is committed to fostering an inclusive organization that respects differences. We support all aspects of diversity and provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status. We encourage individuals from historically underrepresented communities to apply.
