There has never been a better time to join The Spectator. Our sales are at a 190-year high, with growth driven by readers who get to know us through the website. The growth is continuing, and we’re creating some new positions. The first is that of an assistant digital editor whose duties will include:
- Being across the news agenda, spotting issues that would make for a good Coffee House blog or Steerpike (and liaising with the writers)
- Editing copy: fact checking, proof reading, ensuring articles are legally sound, picture research and (crucially) sharp headline writing.
- Using WordPress on a daily basis
- Writing effective social media lines
- Basic photoshop, uploading and embedding relevant audio and video clips.
- Assisting the Spectator team in their coverage of UK politics.
There are just over a dozen of us in The Spectator’s editorial team and all do a bit of everything: edit podcasts, sort graphics, fix coding bugs in a post.
