The Dallas Morning News is looking for an experienced Hub Editor to join our local news team that’s striving to produce meaningful stories in the country’s ninth largest city that anchors its fourth-largest metro area.

Our goal is to be the Number 1 regional news organization in the U.S. Making that happen depends on developing reporters that can regularly produce groundbreaking, community-changing journalism that helps Dallas understand and overcome its challenges, holds our community leaders accountable and highlights the good work taking place around us.

We value stories with impact that are driven by people-focused writing supported by facts, data and information our readers won’t find anywhere else. We want to be the first, best and most trusted news source in Texas.

Our local news reporting team is diverse with a range of experience. Some of the memorable stories written include: 

  • Exclusive reporting on the lack of air-conditioning in the state’s prisons that led to follow-up stories like this one about a man who died in prison when temperatures rose above 100 degrees for a record 54 days in 2023.

  • A story about Kenneth Knotts, a man who died in police custody, but his family was never told that officials had ruled their son’s death was a homicide.

  • A 30-day project in September in which we covered the impact of the fentanyl epidemic through North Texas. 

The Government Accountability Editor will work with a team of reporters emphasizing developing reporting and writing skills – from exercising solid news judgment to developing strong sourcing to turning those sources into scoops, insightful enterprise work, and projects with the potential to transform Dallas. We focus on growing our local news staff into the preeminent reporting team in Texas. 

The Government Accountability Editor will report to our assistant managing editor for news.

Job Requirements

Here’s our list of preferred skills and experience: (Please note this is not a checklist of requirements, but should be considered as a pool of preferred qualifications. If you can already do some of these things, great. If you're excited about figuring out how to do all of them, great! We'd love to hear from you either way.".)

What you’ll need to succeed in this role:
 

  • At least five years in a role where you’ve supervised a team of journalists

  • A team-oriented approach to leadership

  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to help reporters prioritize their work and regularly produce meaningful, exclusive journalism

  • Rock-solid news judgment (a knowledge of D-FW is a plus)

  • Storytelling skills

  • The ability to coach writers and reporters through difficult stories

  • A knowledge of digital media and how to expand audience and enhance interest in our content.

A diverse newsroom best serves our community that fosters an inclusive work environment for people from all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, age, or sexual orientation.

The Dallas Morning News has a distinguished history of journalistic excellence, having won nine Pulitzer Prizes.  For more than 137 years, The News has been committed to high standards as it covers one of the most important and vibrant markets in the country.  North Texas often leads the country in population growth and is frequently on the shortlist for some of the largest world headquarters relocations.
