Washington Post looking for an Outlook editor

Folks at the The Washington Post have asked us to spread the word about their search for a Deputy Editor, Outlook

From their note:


The Washington Post's Outlook section is in the market for a new deputy editor.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about ideas and debates on politics, foreign policy, science, business, race and culture; eager to dial up the world's top thinkers, writers and artists and mold their work into snappy essays, narratives and graphics; and obsessed with driving the Washington conversation -- in print and online -- in new and unexpected directions. Experience in a range of media, whether Web or radio or magazine or television, is a big plus. Top-notch editing skills and a collegial, team-first attitude are a must.

Outlook occupies a unique perch in Post journalism.

We meld reporting, commentary and narrative, and work with contributors inside and outside the newsroom.

The deputy editor is a full partner in leading, conceptualizing and editing Outlook on a weekly basis. We are casting a wide net for this position. Candidates should be ready to offer a critique of Outlook as well fully-formed ideas for pieces and features and writers that could appear in Outlook in the weeks and months ahead. (Tip over some sacred cows and you'll get our attention fast.)

Anyone interested should contact Carlos Lozada (202-334-6358) or Peter Perl (202-334-6188) by October 1.
