Expected start date is fall 2025.

This position requires an experienced digital editor to oversee student journalism. Applicants should have significant newsroom experience and an ability to develop student work in multiple media through coaching. The ideal candidate will pair this professional experience with experience teaching at a university level. We seek a colleague who can contribute to teaching, mentoring, and professional development across our journalism offerings. Specific qualifications include:

• Facility with WordPress and other digital content management systems to support backend production. This position will include posting stories online and teaching students and faculty to do so.
• Working knowledge of best practices in reporting and presentation on multiple platforms, including journalistic writing, visual storytelling, data, and audio journalism. Candidates may specialize in one of these areas but must be willing to work with students producing all forms of news content.
• Knowledge of community engagement and trauma-informed journalism practices and ability to include these in course curriculum and student reporting practices.

Students produce six multimedia reporting projects over the course of the semester, at a rate of about one every two weeks. Completed work is published to philadelphianeighborhoods.com. The instructor is responsible for teaching two sections of this course and overseeing the students’ story production in the Philadelphia Neighborhoods newsroom, from pitch to publication.

This position is expected to be offered at the rank of assistant professor of practice. Candidates with significant professional experience may be considered for appointment at the rank of associate professor of practice.
