Full-time

Description

WTWH Media () is seeking a motivated, entrepreneurial associate editor to become the editorial and brand leader for Ambulatory Surgery Center News (ASCN). ASCN is the leading source of news and analysis for executives in the rapidly expanding U.S. ambulatory surgery center industry.

This $45.6 billion market is growing fast and projected to reach $55.3 billion by 2029. Launched in 2024, ASCN has quickly built a strong reputation and a dedicated readership. We are seeking a journalist who not only produces exceptional content but also understands how to build communities around that content
—someone who can turn reporting into conversations, conversations into engagement, and engagement into a thriving, influential professional network.

This role goes beyond traditional editorial work. You will create enterprising, high-impact journalism and then use your voice, presence, and entrepreneurial instincts to bring readers together around that work
.

You will function as ASCN’s public leader. That means connecting with readers, sparking discussion, and cultivating a sense of community among executives and clinical decision-makers who rely on ASCN as their essential information source.

Your journalism will fuel the community, and your community leadership will strengthen your journalism.

Set ASCN’s editorial direction and produce high-quality reporting rooted in curiosity, strong news judgment, and subject‑matter fluency. You will publish ~5 original stories per week, including scoops, enterprise reporting, analysis, and breaking news coverage. To fuel these stories, you’ll need to interview 3‑5 sources per week.

Represent the brand at industry events (the annual ASCA conference and the ASC News Investment & Operations Conference, for example), on stage, and across digital platforms, showing audiences why your reporting matters and inviting them into deeper engagement.

Turn stories into conversations by:

• Engaging readers on social and professional networks
• Seeding thoughtful discussion among industry leaders
• Encouraging debate and connection in comment threads, live chats, and events.

Regularly interview CEOs, founders, investors, clinicians, policymakers, and academics. Cultivate and maintain deep, trusted source relationships that strengthen both your coverage and the broader ASCN community. Frequent outreach, networking calls and interviews is a key to succeeding in this role.

Use your editorial authority to lead ASCN’s virtual and in‑person conversations. Moderate panels, host podcasts, and run live or virtual convenings that bring stakeholders together to react to your reporting and share new insights.

Help program high‑value events that reflect your coverage priorities and meet the information needs of the ASCN community. Ensure events become vibrant touchpoints for readers to engage with you and one another.

Collaborate on sponsored content, white papers, reports, and thought‑leadership series—maintaining editorial integrity while serving audience needs.

Use audience performance data to shape editorial strategy and community engagement approaches. Leverage analytics to deepen your connection to readers and expand ASCN’s reach.
