Job Details

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for. 

The International desk is looking for a talented, experienced and creative senior Asia regional editor to help manage coverage of a vast and diverse region. This is a chance to join a collegial and committed team of reporters and editors who have a history of award-winning work, an eagerness to experiment with new and developing story forms, and a passion for bringing New York Times journalism to a global audience.

At its heart, this is an assigning editor post: you will help guide coverage from one or more countries; overseeing a team of correspondents and helping them grow in their beats, develop creative new story ideas and deeply analytical and explanatory coverage, and craft transporting features, profiles and dispatches.

The role also demands an experienced editor with a rich toolkit of skills who can work with our leadership team to help develop talented and up-and-coming editors. The successful candidate should be a self-starter who can navigate challenging situations and juggle multiple coverage priorities across regions in a news environment that, at times, can be frenetic. You should have demonstrated the ability to shape coverage – working with reporters and editors to conceptualize stories, guide revisions, and ensure the hub’s work gets the widest possible audience. 

We want a leader, collaborator and communicator who can effectively work across our global newsroom — coordinating with other editors and teams in Seoul as well as in London and New York to provide continuous, round-the-clock coverage and to develop a cohesive global report. We continue to build out the Seoul hub as a seamless operation that focuses on the priorities of the whole newsroom rather than of a single desk. The ideal candidate will also be integral to creating and developing a cohesive culture that emphasizes diversity, equity and inclusion. 

This is a full-time hybrid role based in Seoul, and will report to the Asia editor, who is also based in Seoul. 


Key Responsibilities:

    • Leading and inspiring a team of talented reporters and editors
    • Generating ideas and editing stories that demonstrate solid news judgment – from the immediacy of live coverage and spot news stories to longer-term news features and ambitious enterprise.
    • Supervising and working with reporters and other editors to shape stories and bring them to life
    • Coordinating and communicating coverage during breaking and planned news events, including ensuring that security guidance is sought and followed
    • Thinking creatively about new ways to tell stories and being willing to learn how to execute those storytelling techniques
    • Coaching and developing editors and reporters across the desk
    • Demonstrating support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

Our ideal candidate will have:

    • Significant leadership experience, with ability to motivate, encourage and coach others
    • Extensive and proven hands-on ability to write and edit news, enterprise and feature pieces
    • An infectiously collegial and collaborative attitude, and a track record of building rapport with reporters and other editors
    • Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize with careful attention to accuracy
    • Demonstrable experience collaborating across departments and desks to set and carry out publication plans for all platforms
    • A willingness to be flexible as the newsroom’s needs evolve
    • Professional judgment with respect to confidentiality
