The ideal candidate will be well-versed in magazine journalism, obsessed with clarity and accuracy, very organized, and deeply curious about a wide range of ideas across politics and culture.

Facility with the standards, ethics, and rigors of journalism</div></li><li><div>
Deep familiarity with The Atlantic</div></li><li><div>
Impeccable news judgment and an eye for argument and stylish execution</div></li><li><div>
