Managing Editor, Asia Pacific
Based in Hong
Kong
You
read, watch and listen to media. You write and produce media. You know media!
In fact, packaging content for your audience is second nature. When someone
coined “social media” you were mystified because, for you, media was never
unsocial. It’s about listening and engaging with the world because you’re a
part of it – a participant – and you care. You are Greenpeace’s new Managing
Editor.
Greenpeace is hiring a Managing Editor
for the Asia Pacific region based in Hong Kong. Using content produced at national
offices, the Managing Editor will amplify the reach and impact of Greenpeace’s
campaigns by selectively distributing stories to
international audiences, responding to breaking news of regional significance,
actively monitoring traditional and social media, and managing a global news
calendar.
