Eurogamer is actively seeking a skilled News Editor to guide its reporting team as the publication enters a new phase. This senior role, rarely offered by the outlet, presents an opportunity for an experienced editor to significantly influence Eurogamer's editorial direction.
The job posting emphasizes the critical role that news and original reporting have historically played in Eurogamer's success, citing past exclusive stories such as the inside account of Lionhead's studio and the early scoop on the Nintendo Switch. The publication is looking for an individual with a proven track record in both editing video game news and conducting original, impactful reporting.
Ideal candidates will possess experience in beat reporting within major gaming communities, uncovering unique stories, securing significant scoops, or producing in-depth features on pivotal industry moments. A key responsibility will be to mentor and develop the existing news team while upholding Eurogamer's established reputation for high-quality, authoritative, and engaging news coverage across the video game landscape.
While the role will involve opportunities for previews, reviews, features, and interviews, the primary focus will remain on news reporting. Eurogamer is specifically searching for a dedicated "newshound" with a passion for journalistic investigation. The position requires the applicant to be based in the UK.
