National Desk Editor, The Christian Science Monitor
Christian Science 4.3
Remote or Boston, MA job
Department: The Christian Science Monitor
The National Desk Editor works with fellow US-based desk editors, bureau chiefs, and staff writers to help shape a robust body of U.S. news and features coverage for our daily digital output as well as our print magazine. As a key hub in a unified editorial content engine, the role is pivotal in producing content that demonstrates the Monitor's unique and undivided approach to journalistic excellence. This includes briefs for the app as well as print-first franchises and enterprise stories.
The National Desk Editor approaches daily editing of U.S. news and features with curiosity and open-mindedness and a willingness to set aside personal bias or prevailing consensus. The editor reviews and selects pitches based on rigorous journalistic principles, and treats all points of view with diligent inquiry and respect. The incumbent prizes original reporting and builds stories that promote calm over fear and insight over assumption. A Monitor journalist depicts the subject of the story fairly and without embellishment, and eschews advocacy. The Monitor equips the reader to reach his or her own well-reasoned conclusions.
The National Desk Editor strives to uphold
The Christian Science
Monitor's
founding mission “to spread undivided the Science that operates unspent,” and its object “to injure no man but to bless all mankind.” That includes hewing to our five operational guidelines:
Bring a healing, purifying thought to many homes. We counteract cynicism about news and humanity by upholding a higher standard of both.
Get above the fray. Because we're owned by a church, we're free from corporate and political interests.
Cover the day's vital global news. We provide a trustworthy and concise compilation for our thoughtful, busy readers.
Investigate ideals and endeavors, not just events. We keep abreast of the times by recognizing key currents of thought and their impact.
Be clean, family-friendly, and non-sensational. We are “a newspaper for the home.”
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The incumbent works with both staff writers and freelancers to ensure coverage appropriate to the website, app, newsletters, and the print edition. The Desk Editor also works with writers to ensure smooth travel, proper security arrangements, and compliance with the Monitor Ethics Policy. This includes not taking any public position on any political or public-issue campaign, including through social media posts, participation in protests, or donations to political candidates or issues.
The National Desk Editor is an original and enterprising thinker. The incumbent knows that peoples and nations are more than politics; has a keen eye for news and feature stories that capture through rich description and variety of voices how societies govern, educate, and articulate their values and creativity; and knows that different types of stories require different approaches to editing and narration. Writing grows out of reading. The National Desk Editor is a voracious and deep reader who draws from a diversity of sources to stoke curiosity, sharpen ideas, and spot stories not yet told.
The National Desk Editor embraces our newsroom's three culture pillars:
We're scrappy. We seek creative solutions. We're hungry and nimble. We experiment and streamline.
We're rigorous. We embrace others challenging our ideas and our writing. We strive for editorial excellence, and we help each other continually improve. We know that feedback is a gift.
We have unwavering fidelity to our mission. We make our founding mission the basis for every decision and initiative.
Editorial capabilities include but are not limited to the following:
Practices editorial rigor resulting in strong story angles and incisive, energetic writing.
Embraces a culture of feedback.
Excels at forging trust in order to bring out the best reporting and writing in correspondents.
Understands, respects, and consistently applies Monitor style and language sensitivities.
Engages collaboratively with other desk editors and managers.
Meets productivity goals set by National News Editor and/or executive management team.
Demonstrates mastery of basic CSM style and grammar and can reliably provide strong copy editing when needed.

Technology Skills
Experience with Google Suite applications (Google Docs, etc.), EZ Publish, social media platforms.
Work Environment
Three full days a week in the Boston newsroom. Remote work considered on a provisional basis. When not in person, it's essential to always be quickly reachable during work hours.

The Washington Post job in Washington, DC
Join the future of news We're on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you'll help reinvent news. Our work is driven by a deep investigative spirit and enhanced by innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most.

Why This Role Matters
We're seeking content interns to support our expanding video team. Candidates should have experience already making content: editing videos, running a TikTok, clipping for podcasts and thinking critically about titles, thumbnails and audience engagement.
The paid interns will turn their creator instincts into professional experience, working alongside producers, editors, and talent to bring a daily content operation to life. They will be in the room where shows are planned, clips are cut and communities are built. Interns will help with daily production tasks, gathering assets and elements for rundowns, assisting with editing clips (longform and shortform), brainstorming and editing shoulder content (e.g. reaction clips and extras). They will also track community sentiment, surface audience feedback and support social posting.
Session Options:
* Session 1: 01/05/2026 to 03/13/2026
Application Deadline: 10/30/2025
* Session 2: 03/23/2026 to 05/29/2026
Application Deadline: 12/20/2025

Application Deadline: 04/01/2026
* Session 4: 09/07/2026 to 11/20/2026
Application Deadline: 07/01/2026
Please include the following in your application:
* A résumé
* A cover letter that includes links to shows or videos you have worked on and a description of what specifically you contributed to the final product.
* An original social video on any contemporary news topic, with a hook, a story, and a call to action.
* A second video explaining how you view today's news social landscape. You should address which YouTube shows and independent creators are approaching the landscape effectively, which ones aren't, and what news media companies can learn from them.
* If you are not able to upload a video file due to file size limitations, please include a link to a video hosted elsewhere in your resume or cover letter.
What Motivates You
* You're a creator-in-progress, whether that's on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.
* You are comfortable editing your own stuff (on Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, Apple Final Cut Pro, or even Apple iMovie).
* You're passionate about news, culture and internet fandoms, and know what people are sharing right now.
* You're hungry to learn the professional workflows behind making content at scale.
* You are comfortable in fast-paced environments and on deadline.
* We welcome interns with a range of interests - from those who love creating their own talking-head videos to those obsessed with editing political clips, remixing footage and making mashups.
Skills and Experience You Bring
We are looking for college juniors, seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates.
Required Skills:
* Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, Adobe After Effects or Apple Final Cut.
* Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop or Canva for quick graphics and thumbnails.
Preferred Skills:
* Understanding of YouTube Studio basics (metadata, scheduling, analytics).
* Experience running your own channel, page or fan account, including a keen sense of how to write platform-native social captions.
All work must be submitted in English.
Collaboration makes us stronger. That's why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.
Your story awaits. Apply today!
