FSNN | Free Speech News Network https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html Are you our new senior editor? Index is on the hunt for a new senior editor to work at the heart of our editorial team across our magazine and website. This is an exciting opportunity at a time when Index is launching a membership scheme and redesigning its magazine and website. Reporting to the editor, you will be expected to edit agenda-setting essays, columns, features and investigations. The right candidate will have excellent judgement and editing skills and be a deep thinker. You will be confident working with some of the biggest names in journalism and the arts, as well as committed to finding and commissioning underrepresented voices and stories.  A non-tribal outlook is essential: Index is non-partisan and its only “cause” is that of promoting free expression and examining censorship. The right candidate will combine curiosity with excellent attention to detail. You will support the editor with the production and editing side of the magazine and website as well as commissioning a larger network of freelance contributors around the world, alongside sub-editors, illustrators and designers. The new senior editor must be equally at home working on print and digital-only journalism and analysis. The role demands someone who is just as comfortable writing a grabbing web headline as they are editing a 2,000-word essay. Regular writing opportunities are also available. About Index Index on Censorship is Britain’s leading organisation that campaigns for, reports on and defends free expression worldwide. We publish work by censored writers and artists, promote debate and monitor threats to free speech. Our work is varied and always rewarding. On any given day, we could be publishing letters written by Belarusian political prisoners and defending a cartoonist who might have caused offence – all to make the case that freedom of expression is vital for liberal democracy and for a vibrant and creative society. At the organisation’s heart and in circulation since 1972 is an award-winning quarterly magazine that has featured some of the world’s best-known writers. In addition to the magazine is a website, a weekly newsletter, a policy arm and an events programme. Together they make Index what it is today – the go-to for information on the global free speech landscape.
