The AJC's mission is to be the most essential and engaging source of news and information for the people of Atlanta, Georgia, and the South. To achieve this mission, the AJC is transforming from a storied daily newspaper into a modern media company. This transformation involves a diverse team of reporters, product experts, video/audio specialists, and digital professionals who deliver content across various creative platforms and industries. The AM ATL Newsletter Writer plays a crucial role in this transformation by writing and producing the AJC's flagship morning newsletter, A.M. ATL. This newsletter is designed to be a concise, 5-minute read that provides readers with essential, geographically centered news that they can use, share, and react to each day. The writer will collaborate closely with the Newsletter Editor and senior leadership to ensure that the newsletter reflects the priorities of both existing and prospective users. The ideal candidate will possess a strong voice and a commitment to building community through the newsletter, ideally with established community relationships. They will be dedicated to crafting compelling subject lines and curating the right mix of content. Reliability, collaboration, and adaptability are key traits, especially as the AJC continues its digital transformation. Responsibilities will include writing and producing the daily newsletter, which may involve reporting, selecting artwork, gathering user-generated content, and utilizing email and content management systems. Specific duties include writing original content in an authentically Atlanta voice that resonates with the diverse population of the city, curating essential stories across various news sections, collaborating with reporters and editors to identify engaging reader hooks, and creating additional content under the A.M. ATL brand, such as emergency news briefings.
