Your New Role…

Climate change and extreme weather is a story that touches all of CNN’s audience and all beats: international and national news, politics, business, health and wellness, travel, science and beyond. The Extreme Weather Editor will build on the success of the CNN Climate & Weather team's important, high-interest coverage, prioritizing breaking news while also searching for discrete stories that help illuminate and personalize the climate crisis.

The ideal candidate is an experienced editor, preferably in the extreme weather and climate space. This person thrives on the breakneck pace of deadline journalism and has strong news judgment and reporting skills. This person is also comfortable working with meteorologists, writers, reporters and correspondents around the newsroom to manage daily coverage and shape distinctive stories. Finally, the successful candidate is a team-oriented collaborator who works well with and elevates their colleagues on the team and across the company.
