D Magazine is hiring online associate editor who will focus on lifestyle and home and garden journalism. You’ll work closely with both the online editor and the D Home print team, finding stories across Dallas-Fort Worth that highlight the vibrant worlds of shopping, fashion, style, fitness, wellness, and home design and decor.
In addition to your own reporting and editing, you will help bring print content alive online, and sometimes write short pieces for the D Home magazine. The job includes a monthly newsletter and annual guides around major holidays that help our readers shop local.
The job will be a mix of service journalism and storytelling. You might go from describing your first experience at RH Dallas to a narrative piece about the rebirth of a prominent domestic violence nonprofit whose shelter was damaged during the February freeze. (Both of those have run in the last few weeks.)

The team is working on a hybrid schedule, generally three days in the office and two at home. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required. It is full time with benefits.

Collaborate with the D Home team to ensure print content is presented effectively online
Manage a stable of freelance contributors
Write and send a monthly newsletter focused on Dallas lifestyle topics
