Deadline: 30 September 2010
The National, the English-language newspaper based in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is accepting applications for senior sub-editors.
The newspaper has brought together journalists from some of the most important news organizations in the UK and North America, and has established itself as the Middle East's quality English-language broadsheet.
The ideal candidates will have a strong understanding of the finer points of newspaper editing – from general news to magazine-style features – and be able to help foster a culture of accuracy and professionalism in the newsroom. Chief sub-editors and deputy chief sub-editors who have taken redundancy or who have recently retired are especially encouraged to apply.
Arabic language skills are a definite advantage, as is familiarity with Middle Eastern issues and culture.
We offer very competitive salaries and benefits packages, including one flight home a year. Income in the UAE is tax-free. Applicants must be willing to relocate to the UAE.
We would like to thank all applicants for their interest in these positions; however, only those who are considered for an interview will be contacted. Interested candidates should submit their CV and cover letter via email to apply.
