The Los Angeles Times website seeks a flexible news producer who can
run our homepage during overnight hours.
Candidates for this position might be line, design or copy editors
with experience making fast-paced news judgments. They should be able
to write compelling headlines quickly and communicate with colleagues
in a high-pressure news organization environment.
The position involves posting breaking news and photography on the
site’s homepage, building an immersive user experience at the story
level, gauging audience response and writing display copy.
Interest and experience on web and blog management platforms would be
required. Experience with Adobe Photoshop, video, HTML and one or more
web management systems — and the ability to work quickly and produce
the highest-quality work in these environments — is required.
Knowledge of social media and search optimization is crucial. More
detailed knowledge of code, feeds and software programs is a plus.
Candidates should contact onlinejobs@latimes.com
