PostScript Editor
New York Post, New York, NY, United States
Job Description
The New York Post is seeking a
PostScript Editor
to oversee editing of the Sunday opinion and ideas section and be at the forefront of shaping books‑related content for both the New York Post and California Post. In this role, it is essential that you are familiar with the point‑of‑view, philosophy and principles for which The New York Post’s editorial pages stand. This is not a traditional editorial‑page job, nor is it strictly focused on politics and policy. Ideally, you are a news omnivore who follows global affairs, science and tech news, national and local politics, societal trends and pop culture — and have writer contacts that reflect that. You also love books, have experience covering them, and understand the broad needs of the newsroom. This role requires a self‑motivator with high‑level organizational skills and a strict dedication to deadlines. You must be able to plan in advance — but also pivot and produce quickly as news happens.
Responsibilities
Assume editorial responsibility for the Sunday opinion and ideas section, ensuring that all content is well‑crafted and aligned with the publication’s editorial standards
Collaborate with writers, columnists and contributors to refine and enhance their pieces, providing editorial guidance and feedback
Identify the big stories of the week and come up with creative “zags” that react to the news cycle
Evaluate column submissions and keep up with replies
Bring in a broad network of freelance writers, including opinion columnists and high‑level features writers, to find the right writer for any topic
Stay abreast of developments and schedules in the publishing industry, identifying noteworthy releases across genres
Cultivate relationships with book publishers and literary agents to secure advance copies of important releases
Work closely with the photo and design teams to conceptualize engaging print layouts and digital graphics, including maps and other charts
Coordinate the seamless web posting of columns and articles
Write sharp, SEO‑friendly headlines and story leads
Requirements
7+ years of experience editing opinion pieces, columns, and long‑form content within a newsroom environment
Bachelor’s degree in journalism, English, or a related field preferred
Proven experience in editorial roles, particularly editing both columnists and long‑form, multi‑source features
Exceptional writing, editing and communication skills
Strong organizational abilities and the capacity to manage multiple projects with varying deadlines
An ardent passion for books and a keen understanding of the publishing landscape
A sharp eye for narrative, logic, and tone — especially attuned to the Post’s unique voice
Ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative, high‑paced newsroom environment
WordPress experience is a plus
