The USA TODAY Network's South Region Planning Team is looking for someone to join our team as a News Planner, working with multiple newsrooms in our region spanning five states.
 

Purpose: Planners ensure that the right content is delivered to the right audience in the right way on the right platforms at the right time. They are the architects of overall publication plans of our newsrooms’ journalism to maximize audience and subscription growth.
 

Responsibilities: In concert with newsroom leadership, planners are responsible for managing:

• Multiplatform calendars and plans that reflect tactics based on our audience strategies to deliver maximum impact for our newsrooms’ content. Planners create and publish lineups of what is featured on our sites, app push alerts, newsletters, the print edition and more.
• The use of audience analytics to adjust content plans both in real time and in strategic decision-making.
• The relationship and communication with (and advocacy of) the teams who execute our plans – the Digital Optimization Team and the Design Center – as well as other newsroom specialists. While the bulk of planning is focused on digital journalism, planners also play a critical role in helping ensure quality print products.
• Content sharing across a state, region and within the USA TODAY Network, including USA TODAY itself.

*Application Instructions:

The application only allows one document upload, so please provide all your materials combined as a single attachment  (resume, cover letter, work samples, portfolio, links, etc.). This will ensure that you receive the highest consideration.
