Newcity Interim Senior Editor

As you may know, Newcity is producing a movie, Signature Move, which is planning principal photography in Chicago this June. This means that Brian Hieggelke will be working on set and in pre-production for a month or two, and we need a topnotch editor to step in and help keep Newcity magazine operating at the highest levels during this time. The ideal candidate would be outstanding at conceiving and vetting feature story ideas, including cover stories, and working closely with writers to bring manuscripts to publishable quality; writing compelling headlines, and working closely with our eight section editors to keep everything operating smoothly. The ideal candidate would possess all of these qualities, as well as extraordinary organization and attention to details as it relates to story planning and overseeing all copy before it publishes. The super-ideal candidate would also have a strong visual sense that might be manifest in working with designers and illustrators. Hours are somewhat TBD, but we anticipate starting part-time immediately, with responsibilities and time commitment increasing to their highest levels in May and June.
