Company Description

We’re looking for an experienced Page Editor to work closely with our editorial leads and Chief Sub-Editor to maintain the high standards of The Sunday Mirror on a one day per week (Saturdays only) basis. The role combines sub-editing high-profile Mirror page leads as well as shared content across both the Mirror and Express brands. You will also revise and approve completed Mirror pages when required.

It’s a fast-moving role perfect for a versatile sub-editor with national newspaper experience. This isn’t just about catching typos; it’s about maintaining the unique voice of a brand that has been part of the media landscape for more than a century.

This is a hybrid role linked to our Canary Wharf hub, but a full-time work-from-home contract could be considered in some circumstances.

Job Description

What will the role involve?

You will edit copy for print editions of The Sunday Mirror (and Express content as needed), ensuring all content is polished, precise and impactful. You will ensure copy fits allocated space while maintaining clarity and flow, consistently translating complex information into clear, plain English. Beyond refining the narrative, you will craft accurate and effective headlines that capture our readers' attention. A rigorous approach to fact-checking is essential, as is the ability to adapt seamlessly to breaking news by updating stories quickly and accurately as events unfold.

You will ensure every piece of copy strictly adheres to house style and internal company guidelines. Furthermore, you will act as a key checkpoint for quality control by ensuring all content is legally sound and fully compliant with IPSO guidelines. By balancing speed with a meticulous eye for detail, you will ensure our output remains professional, ethical and of the highest quality.

Qualifications

Who are we looking for?

You are a seasoned sub-editor with experience working in a similar national newsroom environment, who combines sharp editorial judgment with creative flair. You have the skill and judgment to decide instantly whether copy can be left unchanged or requires a complete, high-speed overhaul to meet the exacting standards of a national newspaper.

You have an uncompromising eye for detail, an understanding of media law and a track record of working to strict, demanding deadlines. You are adaptable, comfortable working on both the Mirror and Express as required while understanding the nuances of each brand.
