Job description

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. Independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. Our world-renowned newsroom reports from nearly 160 countries, and our journalism is produced for print, audio, and a world-class digital and app destination. Our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that its worth paying for.

About the Role

The New York Times Culture desk aims to be the preeminent destination for television coverage. Through our reporting, criticism and service journalism, we publish illuminating and memorable pieces that offer trusted guidance to help people live fuller, more considered lives.

The Times is seeking a multifaceted critic with deep knowledge and expertise, a discerning eye and a lively writing style who can enrich readers' understanding and appreciation of television, streaming and video programming, including scripted, reality, documentary, news, talk shows and platforms like YouTube and TikTok. You should be able to write reviews, newsy essays and appraisals of notable people that speak to a national and global audience. You would remain aware of prevailing conversations around television and be prepared to weigh in for the Times when appropriate, whether on a pivotal scene in last night's episode of a scripted drama, real-world fallout from a reality show or some other event inspiring chatter online and elsewhere.

We are looking for someone who can make the world of TV accessible to general audiences while also producing criticism that engages and delights experts and aficionados. You will help readers learn about the most important series and content from around the world. And you will deepen their understanding of the leading performers, creators and craftspeople who bring television to life.

You should be a dynamic, digital-first writer who understands the national and global audience for TV criticism. You should be eager to embrace new story forms with strong visual, audio and video components. In addition to engaging with readers, you should be ready to employ different platforms, and enjoy collaborating with a large team of writers, editors, designers and producers across all disciplines and in other areas of the department and newsroom.

This is a hybrid position, and includes regular attendance in the office each week per your departmental guidance.

Responsibilities

  • Regularly write reviews on deadline.
  • Write critic's notebooks, appraisals and other features, some based on the news and requiring a quick turnaround.
  • Routinely use alternate story formats and multimedia as part of your work and criticism.
  • Participate in audio and video storytelling, such as joining in podcasts and delivering criticism on camera.
  • Be on top of emerging content and trends on digital video platforms like YouTube.
  • Write service-oriented pieces that draw on your critical insights.
  • During awards season, take part in conversations and other live coverage efforts as needed.
  • Contribute to brainstorming meetings for TV and pop culture coverage.
  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
  • You will report to the TV Editor.

Basic Qualifications

  • 5+ years of journalism experience, including experience working as a television critic on deadline.
  • Knowledge of contemporary television, networks, streaming and video platforms, and TV history.
  • Demonstrated ability to cover everything from prestige dramas to reality shows, from documentaries to online video.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • A passion for the mission and values of The Times.
  • A lively writing style.
  • This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.

    The annual base pay range for this role is between $124,979.94 - $170,000 USD.
