Job Description

News Editor

📍 Midtown Manhattan (in office)

💼 Full-time

💰 $95,000–$110,000 + great benefits

Help lead one of the fastest-growing digital newsrooms in the US.

The U.S. Sun is looking for an experienced News Editor to help shape our daily news coverage and lead a growing team of talented reporters and editors. Since launching in 2020, we've built a loyal audience with bold, engaging journalism — and we’re just getting started.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced newsroom and is passionate about breaking stories, driving original reporting, and mentoring a team.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading the news team day-to-day: assigning stories, managing breaking news, ensuring strong editorial standards, and taking the lead on the biggest story of the day.
  • Running morning editorial meeting and shaping the daily news agenda.
  • Working closely with SEO, audience, video, and design teams to maximize reach.
  • Developing reporters and editors through coaching and feedback.
  • Prioritizing original content and exclusives, not aggregation.
  • Monitoring performance across platforms and adapting strategy as needed.
  • Managing forward planning for the news section, and planning stories and content around future events.
  • Helping build out specialist sections e.g. motors and travel
  • Occasionally managing weekend or evening news operations if there is a larger event, e.g, the Oscars, the Super Bowl.

What you’ll bring:

  • At least 5 years of newsroom experience, including 2+ years in an editing role.
  • Strong editorial judgment and a sharp eye for a great story.
  • Experience managing reporters and producing standout breaking news and exclusives.
  • A good understanding of SEO, audience analytics, and how to drive traffic.
  • A calm, collaborative approach to working under pressure.
  • A clear sense of what makes The US Sun's voice stand out — and how to keep it sharp.

What we offer:

  • Salary: $95,000–$110,000 depending on experience
  • 26 days PTO
  • Full benefits: healthcare, dental, 401K
  • Working in a Midtown Manhattan office (gym & subsidized restaurant on-site)
  • The chance to grow in a dynamic, supportive newsroom

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and do not discriminate based on race, gender, age, orientation, or disability.

If you're ready to lead with impact and help shape the future of The US Sun, we’d love to hear from you.
