The New York Times has opened applications for its Editing Residency, a one-of-a-kind program aimed at cultivating the next generation of editors.
Residents work full time for two years across a range of desks in the newsroom. They are paid, they receive benefits and they are expected to attend dedicated training and speaker programs at The Times. We plan to welcome five new residents this cycle — including, for the first time, one editing resident who will focus on both traditional as well as visual and nontraditional forms of journalism. The most competitive candidates will have professional journalism experience and demonstrate a commitment to learning the craft of editing. Our goal is to recruit candidates of diverse backgrounds and give them the tools and experiences they need to help shape journalism.
The deadline to submit an application is 5 p.m. Eastern on Monday, May 19, after which the program directors and editors across the newsroom will collaborate to select the new residents. The residency will include two groups, one expected to start in November and one in March.
Interested candidates can apply here.
