They should have at least seven years’ experience developing readership on various platforms, with a keen sense of industry innovation in the field of audience development.

Solutions journalism provides a framework, grounded in journalistic ethics and informed by today’s professional challenges, that enables journalists to cover society more comprehensively, revealing possibilities for civic agency and connection.    In SJN’s seven years, solutions journalism has become a credible reporting practice recognized for driving meaningful impact in society.  Over 18,000 journalists have been exposed to our curriculum. More than 300 news organizations have engaged SJN to produce staff workshops, develop reporting projects, and consult on audience or community engagement activities.   This Emerging Audience Editor will support the New York & Michigan Solutions Journalism Collaborative, supported by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation and the Health Foundation of Western & Central New York. The New York & Michigan Solutions Journalism Collaborative is breaking new ground as the Solutions Journalism Network’s first interstate collaborative -- a diverse group representing at least 26 news organizations, three universities, a liberal arts college, and a book publisher.    The collaborative, which focuses on solutions to the challenges faced by caregivers of older adults, is launching a Connecting With Caregivers program to fill an urgent need. One in five Americans is a family caregiver, and the number is growing rapidly. It’s unknown exactly how many caregivers exist in Western New York and Southeast Michigan, but our emerging media collaborative faces the same problem public agencies and service providers do – how best to reach them.  Role Description: We’re looking for a community engagement specialist to work with the New York & Michigan Solutions Journalism Collaborative’s nascent Connecting with Caregivers program.  Connecting with this population is a task that has been bedeviling to public health officials and program funders, as well as journalists. As the name of the collaborative’s project indicates, caregivers are often part of an invisible army – people of all ages struggling in the trenches without much acknowledgement or fully understanding where to go for help.  The Emerging Audience Editor will work with others on the team to conduct research, help create and run the Connecting with Caregivers program. As Emerging Audience Editor, you will: - Conduct research on ways to connect with caregivers through interviews with local caregivers and experts, and on best practices across the nation. - Investigate and experiment with innovative ways to establish an ongoing dialogue with caregivers. Help identify emerging needs for coverage by the collaborative. - Be responsible for creating engagement opportunities to promote discussion about important caregiving issues online, in person and in storytelling formats. - Be responsible for representing the media collaborative in the community and at public events both that we host and that you attend. - Be responsible for regularly engaging diverse audiences of caregivers on multiple digital platforms. - Be responsible for tracking audience analytics of social posts and collaborative content online. - Embrace solutions journalism as a practice and promote caregiving coverage from the collaborative in efficient, effective ways. This position is part of a bigger puzzle: transforming the way journalists engage and cover caregivers of older adults to offer stronger, community-centric information and storytelling rooted in what caregivers say the main issues are. Does this sound like your calling? We hope so: We’re an energetic, ambitious, and fun bunch, and we want great people to join us. We need folks who know how to solve problems, with an appetite for experimentation and an appreciation for ambiguity. While SJN seeks to seed a financially sustainable collaborative journalism, please note that this role will be part-time and temporary at first. Equity, Justice, Diversity and Inclusion at SJN means a workplace where individual differences are recognized, appreciated, respected and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize each person’s talents and strengths. Diversity of perspective, identity, and experience is important to us.  We want to reflect and serve the whole of society.

Solutions journalism provides a framework, grounded in journalistic ethics and informed by today’s professional challenges, that enables journalists to cover society more comprehensively, revealing possibilities for civic agency and connection.    In SJN’s seven years, solutions journalism has become a credible reporting practice recognized for driving meaningful impact in society. Over 18,000 journalists have been exposed to our curriculum. More than 300 news organizations have engaged SJN to produce staff workshops, develop reporting projects, and consult on audience or community engagement activities.   This role will support the New York & Michigan Solutions Journalism Collaborative, supported by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation and the Health Foundation of Western & Central New York. The New York & Michigan Solutions Journalism Collaborative is breaking new ground as Solutions Journalism Network’s first interstate collaborative – a diverse group representing at least 26 news organizations, three universities, a liberal arts college, and a book publisher.    The collaborative, which focuses on solutions to the challenges faced by caregivers of older adults, is launching a Connecting with Caregivers program to fill an urgent need. One in five Americans is a family caregiver, and the number is growing rapidly. It’s unknown exactly how many caregivers exist in Western New York and Southeast Michigan, but our emerging media collaborative faces the same problem public agencies and service providers do – how best to reach them.  Role Description: We’re looking for an entrepreneurial journalist to work with the New York & Michigan Solutions Journalism Collaborative.  Considering the ambitious, innovative nature of the proposed Connecting with Caregivers Program, a part-time caregiving project editor will be needed to assist with day-to-day support for the 31 partners/participating media organizations as they report, edit, and publish and/or broadcast news coverage about caregiving and caregivers. More news organizations have indicated an interest in joining the collaborative, and it is likely to grow as more coverage surfaces and partnerships gain traction.  As Caregiving Project Editor, you will: - Manage relationships between collaborative partners. - Be responsible for accountability toward goals and strategies set by collaborative members. - Convene and lead consistent meetings for collaborative partners. - Reinforce the solutions journalism approach by offering guidance on potential story ideas, reporting strategies and research resources.  - Provide quality control on the project as a whole – identifying gaps in coverage and flagging inconsistencies, including making sure the project website reflects the collaborative’s mission. - Act as the central keeper of story pitches and plans of each participating outlet. In the case of conflicting or overlapping story plans, the Caregiving Project Editor will look for ways to meld reporting so that the efforts and integrity of each newsroom’s work is maintained. - Encourage cross-newsroom coverage as much as possible. - Manage the project’s website and social media platforms. This position is part of a bigger puzzle: transforming the way journalists engage and cover caregivers of older adults to offer stronger, community-centric information and storytelling rooted in what caregivers say the main issues are. Does this sound like your calling? We hope so: We’re an energetic, ambitious and fun bunch, and we want great people to join us. We need folks who know how to solve problems, with an appetite for experimentation and an appreciation for ambiguity. While SJN seeks to seed a financially sustainable collaborative journalism, please note that this role will be part-time and temporary at first. Equity, Justice, Diversity and Inclusion at SJN means a workplace where individual differences are recognized, appreciated, respected and responded to in ways that fully develop and use each person’s talents and strengths. Diversity of perspective, identity, and experience is important to us. We want to reflect and serve the whole of society. As a result, we encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to seek employment, and we make all employment decisions without regard to race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other factors protected by federal, state or local law. To request reasonable accommodation, contact Delaney Butler (delaney@solutionsjournalism.org). Do you have skills or experiences that we haven’t thought of that you can bring to this job? Tell us how you can see this role benefit from your own individual experiences. Timeline : Applications due: May 30, 2021 First-round interviews: June 14-18, 2021  Final-round interviews: June 21-25 2021 Start date: July 12, 2021 What we’re looking for: - Excellent oral and written communication skills, strong editorial mindset. - Proven organizational experience and leadership on large projects. - Experience working with a diverse array of media outlets. - Familiarity with solutions journalism. - Demonstration of effective judgment, critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities. - Knowledge of AP style. - Available to work evenings/weekends as needed. - Willingness to experiment. - At least three years of experience in journalism.
