The Catholic Herald is looking for a commissioning editor: someone who knows what makes a good article, and can work with writers to bring the best out of them.
The role is full-time and involves working closely with the team here. So – once coronavirus recedes – you’d have to be able to come into London at least most days of the week.
To apply, please email [email protected], putting “Commissioning editor” in the subject line, and including the following:
1. A paragraph about yourself, mentioning your journalistic/editing experience, and why you’d like to work for the Herald.
2. Suggest three pieces – one Church-related, one on current affairs and one on culture (high or low) – that we should commission, and from which writers.
3. Pick a recent Herald article and suggest how it could have been improved. (No offence will be taken!)
