  • The editing chops to guide, shape, and polish stories to meet Boston Globe standards
  • Organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple responsibilities on tight deadlines
  • Excellent news judgment, along with a sense for the stories and angles that will grab readers and drive engagement
  • Subject matter expertise in the arts and entertainment; familiarity with the Boston arts scene a plus
