Radio Ink is looking for an Editor to lead the publication’s editorial voice across both print and digital. You’ll help set the direction for the brand, run a tight production cycle from cover feature to daily headlines, and serve as a visible, trusted presence in the industry.
This is an involved, hands-on leadership role: you’ll assign, write, edit, and publish.
Candidates must be prepared to:
- Own the full editorial calendar for the monthly print magazine and RadioInk.com, from cover features and columns to daily news and headlines

- Edit and curate columns and op-eds from industry executives and contributors
- Write and edit news articles with strong packaging for web
- Cover industry conferences and major events, and support editorial programming for Radio Ink‘s live events
- Write promotional copy for the magazine, digital products, and events
- Build and maintain relationships with broadcasters, group owners, associations, ratings and research firms, and vendors
- Guide the brand’s style, standards, and accuracy across every platform
What we’re looking for:
- Deep fluency in the radio and broadcasting industry, including formats, ownership and consolidation history, syndication, and the major players
- Working knowledge of regulatory issues facing broadcasters
- Proven leadership skills. Experience managing a publication, newsroom, or content team and meeting deadlines in print and digital is a plus
- Exceptional writing and editing skills
- Comfort with WordPress and email newsletter publishing
- A sharp news instinct and the ability to turn industry developments into stories readers care about
- Experience in radio, such as programming, management, or trade journalism, strongly preferred
- Willingness to travel for industry events
