About the Role
Common Sense Media is seeking a tech editor/journalist/writer for its Youth AI Safety Institute. This new, independent effort researches AI's impact on youth, sets safety standards, evaluates products, and shares findings with the public, thought leaders, and partners. This is a hands-on editorial role requiring comfort with substantive editing, story development, and publishing operations to maintain high editorial standards and improve production processes.
Responsibilities
- Edit AI risk assessments, research reports, surveys, and other Institute publications for clarity, accuracy, structure, accessibility, and impact.
- Translate technical and academic material into language understandable by parents, educators, policymakers, technology developers, journalists, and general audiences.
- Maintain the rigor and independence of the Institute's work while making it compelling to audiences beyond the research community.
- Edit and help develop original articles, essays, interviews, investigations, newsletters, and other editorial projects about AI and kids.
- Identify opportunities to turn Institute findings and expertise into timely stories or recurring editorial franchises, and contribute original ideas.
- Help the Institute respond quickly and substantively to important developments in AI.
- Serve as an editorial partner to Common Sense Media experts developing distinctive public voices through articles, newsletters, podcasts, social video, and other formats.
- Help creators turn expertise into clear ideas, strong narratives, and work that feels authentic to their individual voices.
- Edit scripts and other material for podcasts, video, and social platforms.
- Help establish and enforce standards for accuracy, fairness, sourcing, independence, clarity, usefulness, and voice.
- Fact-check and substantively edit sensitive or consequential claims.
- Act as a trusted editorial partner to the Head of Public Engagement on editorial priorities, story selection, framing, and quality.
- Take the lead on individual publications and editorial projects from conception through publication.
- Make day-to-day editorial decisions and keep work moving when the Head of Public Engagement is unavailable or focused on other priorities.
Requirements
- Significant experience as an editor in a rigorous editorial environment covering tech and AI.
- Exceptional, substantive editing skills—the ability to see the argument, structure, evidence, and story as well as the sentence.
- Strong news judgment and an instinct for what will matter to a broader public audience.
- Experience editing complex technical, academic, or data-driven material for non-specialists.
- Interest in AI, technology, children, education, media, or the social impact of technology.
