WXPN, the public media service at the University of Pennsylvania, is looking for a Digital Content Editor who will play a central role in how WXPN shows up online and connects with listeners. The editor’s work will help strengthen the station’s relationship with Philadelphia’s music community and bring our audience closer to the artists and stories that matter to them.
The Digital Content Editor will manage XPN’s day-to-day web publishing and social media, covering Philadelphia’s music scene and the national artists who matter to our audience. They will write daily stories, edit in-house and freelance contributions, work with photographers, create social content, and help produce our newsletters, while keeping XPN’s voice consistent across platforms.
The ideal candidate is a versatile editor with a deep understanding of Philadelphia’s music scene and strong digital publishing skills. They can turn around copy on deadline while also thinking strategically about long-term coverage goals and audience engagement. They shape and maintain our editorial calendar, identify emerging news and trends worth covering, and set priorities that align digital content with station programming. This means working closely with our Programming, Marketing, Membership, and Web teams to ensure our editorial work supports the station’s broader mission.
