About this role

Assistant Editor, Space New York, NY 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 New York Times is looking for an editor to manage its space coverage. The Times's large readership takes enormous interest in the Science desk's stories about space and astronomy - which include reporting on SpaceX's latest launches, NASA missions to Mars, meteorites falling to Earth, solar and lunar eclipses, powerful new telescopes studying cosmic mysteries and a growing collection of interstellar comets. We are seeking a real space ace, someone with significant experience as either an editor or a reporter in covering multiple aspects of the beat. The editor will need to launch reporters on stories quickly, stay abreast of the desk's competitors and be determined to beat them. But the editor will also need to possess a strong sense of the deep trends underlying the space beat, and be capable of assigning and editing idea-driven and explanatory features that help readers see the past, present and future of space
