Who We Are:

The Dallas Express was founded in 2021 to fill a void in our Metroplex communities for fact-based, non-opinion news. We believe that news should be reported dispassionately to place emphasis on facts over all else. News reports can be direct and even hard-edged, but they should never be “spun” or carry editorial opinions to suit the political persuasions of our reporters or editors.

  • Copy edit and line edit stories for publication in The Dallas Express.

Expected Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience.
  • 1 year experience in news editing. Background in fast-paced breaking news, government/politics, or city reporting preferred. Copy editing experience a plus.
  • A compelling command of the English language and the ability to find errors, fix grammar and proofread with ease.
  • The commitment and stamina to work whenever and wherever there is a need to get stories ready for publishing.
  • The ability to work and manage effectively within time constraints and deadlines.
  • The independence of a self-starter while still collaborating with a close-knit team.
