The Job

The Daily
• Programming producers are obsessed with finding that perfect headline, image and curation of stories. They worry about homepages, article pages and section fronts.
• They take initiative to recognize programming needs, and they work with more senior team members to make sure the needs are met. They may help provide guidance to the team's associate producers.

• Digital producers are thoughtful and creative planners, and ace collaborators, working with video and photo teams, social teams, the global digital news desk, vertical teams and beyond.
