* Assign, edit and write international news content that will include a mix of hard news, analysis, features, expert interviews, videos, photo essays, timelines, graphics and viral content.

* Know how to edit and write an engaging story that gets to the core of who, what, when and why it matters.

* Experiment and innovate.
* Craft shareable and clickable headlines.
