Palestine Reporting Lab: Bilingual Editor
The Palestine Reporting Lab is seeking an experienced bilingual (Arabic and English) editor to help shape ambitious investigative, research-based, enterprise and narrative journalism about Palestine and Palestinian communities.
The Palestine Reporting Lab supports investigative and in-depth stories that uncover hidden harm, focus on accountability, and serve communities affected by abuses of power. We provide emerging and veteran journalists with rigorous editorial guidance and mentorship, meaningful financial support, and opportunities for collaborative reporting, research, and storytelling.
The Palestine Reporting Lab is not an outlet. Instead, we are a journalism incubator. We develop reporting projects, support reporters and reporting teams to carry them out, and produce and publish our projects in partnership with leading news organizations in English and in Arabic.
The Palestine Reporting Lab is a project of Just Vision, an independent, not-for-profit media organization based in the United States, and is guided by the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics. We are committed to editorial independence, truth, integrity, and fairness.
We are looking for a skilled bilingual editor to join our small but growing editorial team. The editor will be the Lab’s coordinator for Arabic language journalism, and will be involved in stories in both English and Arabic. The editor will work closely with other editors to support reporters and reporting teams at every step in the reporting process from conception through publication. Our stories can be long magazine narratives, short investigative news features, audio or video stories, experimental storytelling products, and anything else we can imagine and our reporters or partners can carry out.
We are ultimately looking for an exceptional editor: someone with the judgment, curiosity, discipline, and bilingual skill to help produce great journalism. The editor should be able to work confidently in both English and Arabic, and support reporters in either language. They will be the primary editor of Arabic language work (including work originally in Arabic and work that is translated into Arabic) and a bridge between English-only editors, reporters and partners, and Arabic-only editors, reporters, and partners.
