Job Vacancy: Content Editor - ITV News
Location: London, UK
Closing Date: 14th October 2025
This is a crucial role, commissioning and overseeing the delivery of content for ITV News across all its platforms. This role includes opportunities to work across Newsgathering, ITVX, ITV News programmes, ITV News digital, and special projects. On a day-to-day basis these roles are the operational leaders at the heart of the newsrooms assigning resources and driving our coverage.
This role requires a journalist with strong news judgment and the ability to motivate both input and output teams in a creative yet disciplined manner, while working effectively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Content Editors should have a strong breadth of experience and understanding of newsgathering and ITV News coverage platforms although expertise in all is not a pre-requisite. Content Editors may have a substantive platform or shift they work across more than others – but flexibility is a key part of the role.
Some of these roles will be offered on a fixed-term/attachment basis for an initial period of up to six months. We are keen to understand which areas of the newsroom best align with your existing skills and experience, so please ensure this information is included in your application.
