THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Senior Editorial Producer to help lead day-to-day editorial coverage at Mo News. This is not only a hands-on news production role; it’s an editorial leadership role.

You will help manage the flow of our daily coverage, ensure consistency in tone and quality, and make real-time decisions about how stories are framed and prioritized across platforms. You’ll be editing/approving work from other editorial team members, as well as producing coverage yourself.

You should have strong editorial instincts, a deep understanding of the news cycle, and the ability to quickly identify what matters and how to explain it clearly to our audience.

This role helps set the editorial standard for Mo News. You will play a key role in shaping how our audience understands the news each day, and in building a newsroom designed for the future of journalism.

• Write Instagram captions and newsletter stories in the Mo News format and tone

• Fact-check and verify all information before publishing

• Source, clip, and edit + caption video for IG Reels and YouTube

• Create visual posts (including basic Canva graphics when needed)

This is a player-coach role; you should be comfortable both guiding others and doing the work yourself.

Coverage Execution

• Monitor the news cycle and adjust coverage throughout the day

• Identify when a story needs follow-ups, updates, or additional context

• Help determine timing and sequencing of stories across platforms

• Contribute to newsletter structure and daily editorial planning

• Support podcast prep and broader editorial coordination as needed

• Strong editorial judgment and instincts

• Deep familiarity with the daily news cycle

• Clear, concise writing style

• Comfort working across digital platforms, especially Instagram

You should be:

• Calm under pressure

• Decisive

• Detail-oriented

• Producers and interns producing stronger work under your guidance
