IHT Hong Kong seeks editors
Job openings at the International Herald Tribune in Hong Kong:
We are looking to fill 3 positions on its financial news desk, based in Hong Kong.
* A senior position in “backfielding”. You’d be partly in charge of the financial news section that we do in partnership with Reuters. You’d man the wires, make story decisions, and work with correspondents and other editors overseas. Shift is about 1-10pm.
* Financial copy desk chief (or chief sub-editor in British jargon). Shift is 2-10pm.
* Someone in charge of a 4-page daily supplement we do in partnership with an Indian newspaper, the Financial Chronicle. This person should be able to do a bit of layout and a bit of financial copy editing. (Basically, you shorten and repackage the IHT’s business section). Shift is 3/4pm-11/midnight.
Jobs are 5 days a week, with rotating days off. We’d be looking for someone with daily newsroom experience, as there’d be very little on-the-job training.
You get quite a bit of holiday, about 3 weeks regular vacation, plus about 3 weeks compensation for public holidays. It works out to about a month and a half per year.
Email your cv and cover letter to Joyce Lau at jlau@iht.com.
