Job Description

City Cast DC is hiring a sharp, thoughtful and omnivorous writer to report for our site and work on our daily newsletter — the morning read tens of thousands of Washingtonians rely on to understand what's happening in their city. The newsletter is our front door, and we're looking for someone who can shape it day after day with clarity, voice, and a deep understanding of what residents care about. It would be nice if you were funny, too. While writing and assembling the newsletter will be the core of this role, you will also have the opportunity to report and write original stories for City Cast DC.

This position will report to the executive editor. The ideal candidate is a strong, efficient writer with sound news judgment, a curiosity about D.C., a hunger to be where the action is, and the discipline to hit a daily deadline. You\'re comfortable distilling a complex story into a tight newsletter blurb and chasing down original reporting when the moment calls for it. Experience in local D.C. news is a plus — but not as essential as flexibility, enthusiasm, and the ability to roll with it in a startup environment.
