Responsible for publishing News content in a timely way to the highest possible standards, ranging from breaking news to sculpting long-form articles. Working in a fast-moving environment, you will be capable of publishing numerous stories a day with accuracy and flair. Senior Publishers work closely with commissioners, visual teams and other publishers to develop articles on a specific desk.
