News Editor, Live Journalism Job at The Wall Street Journal in New York

About the Role
The Wall Street Journal is seeking a news‑minded, culturally curious, entrepreneurial editor to join our Live Journalism team.

This editor will own and shape agendas for our award‑winning Journal Houses, which take place around the world and help produce the Future of Everything event franchise.
