Overview:
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn’s award-winning Spanish-language monthly newspaper, Nuestra Voz, is looking for a seasoned journalist to fill the role of editor. Nuestra Voz won Spanish Publication of the Year during the 2021 Catholic Media Awards and many other first-place awards for journalism excellence. Nuestra Voz is included with The Tablet, the diocese’s English-language newspaper, and has a circulation of 55,000 newspapers. The editor reports to the editor-in-chief of print publications. He/she will be responsible for running the day-to-day editorial operations of the newspaper. Nuestra Voz and The Tablet are part of a larger news group that includes the award-winning nightly TV program, “Currents News,” and a digital department that oversees the group’s online content. This editor will bring their toolbox of experience and innovation with them to grow the newspaper’s readership across all platforms and fill the need for more faith-based content for the Spanish-speaking audience beyond the New York demographic. The editor will coordinate and share content with sub-departments within the group, and foster the paper’s partnership with the international online publication cruxnow.com. The editor will collaborate with fellow editors to select the paper’s content, edit reporter stories, and among other things, ensure that style remains consistent. Ideal candidates will have in-depth knowledge of the Catholic Church, its teachings, and doctrine, and they will commit themselves to becoming experts about the workings of the Diocese of Brooklyn.
