WQXR is the #1 classical radio station in the United States, reaching millions of listeners monthly via terrestrial radio, digital streaming, and social media. Our mission is to create a movement that redefines what classical music means today by inviting a larger, more diverse audience into its magic. One of the ways we’ll do this is by developing a strong editorial voice that brings our unique perspective to our web site and all digital platforms.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: You are an innovative digital leader with a journalism background and a commitment to classical music, convinced that anyone can love it. You’ve proven yourself as an exceptional communicator with an incredible eye for writing and editing. You’ve got a knack for penning a great headline and matching it to an unforgettable image. You can spot a trend from a mile off and know how to break into those conversations while maintaining a brand voice. You have the ability to lead a creative team and a drive to experiment with new approaches to an old genre. You are versed in AP style, believe in deadlines and know how to meet them.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: As WQXR’s Editor-in-Chief you will be responsible for all content on WQXR.org and its affiliated sites. You will work with the SVP, Music and VP, Programming to develop and execute on a content strategy that will serve WQXR’s existing fans and help develop new audiences for classical music with compelling and insightful coverage.
