Talent Acquisition Manager @ McClatchy Media

McClatchy Media is hiring a versatile, forward-thinking associate editor/AI Reporter to support a team focused on local service journalism and AI-assisted content production in Broward County. This hybrid leadership role is ideal for a journalist who thrives on shaping coverage and also staying close to the reporting work. Someone passionate about helping readers and pioneering the smart use of AI in a modern newsroom.

As the right hand to the Broward editor, you will help manage the daily editorial flow while also playing a key role in operationalizing the use of generative AI and automation tools in service of high-volume, high-impact local journalism. You will help edit and coach fellow reporters, ensure quality control across templated and original stories, and regularly write your own explainers, guides, and real-time responses that answer readers' everyday questions.

The successful candidate will bring a passion for community-centered journalism, strong editorial judgment and curiosity about how AI tools can make local news more accessible, efficient and relevant.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Broward editor in coordinating daily assignments, editing drafts and managing content workflow.
• Serve as the editorial lead for AI-assisted content, ensuring automated or templated stories are accurate, relevant and meet our editorial standards.
• Collaborate with the AI-assisted reporter and developers to refine story templates, experiment with automation tools and improve output over time.
• Write original stories that include community explainers, service journalism and reader-driven guides with high utility and engagement potential.
• Maintain and help expand the editorial calendar of recurring content, including AI-generated reports and evergreen updates.
• Use audience data, SEO principles and social listening to help shape story planning and prioritization.
• Act as a resource and coach for other reporters, providing feedback that strengthens their work and improves newsroom workflows.
• Step in as acting editor when needed, especially on coverage coordination or AI experimentation projects.
  
  

Qualifications

• Strong reporting, writing and editing skills with a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to ethical journalism.
• Familiarity with AI-powered tools used in newsrooms (e.g., natural language generation, prompt refinement, automation platforms).
• Experience overseeing structured content or templated story production preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to balance editing responsibilities with writing assignments.
• A digital-first mindset with strong understanding of SEO, engagement strategies and content performance metrics.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, especially in a fast-paced, evolving newsroom.
• Fluency in Spanish, Portuguese or French/Creole is a plus, reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve.
  
  

Job Requirements

• This is a day shift position that may include evening and weekend work as needed.
• This position is based in South Florida and involves a hybrid schedule: working from home and from our Miami newsroom, with a strong expectation of gathering news at the scene.
• Proficiency with AP style, grammar, and punctuation.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience.
