Politics Editor
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes: "Anticipated Hiring Range $70,000 - $86,632" => Pay section. Also "Shift 40 hours a week, M-F with occasional on-call/weekend editing shift" => Schedule. Benefits: "Benefit Eligibility This position is eligible for University benefits. As part of your total compensation, the University offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental and vision plans, retirement, paid time off, short- and long-term disability, paid parental leave, paid caregiver leave, and educational fee discounts for all four UM System campuses." So Benefits section.
Also "A moving allowance is available in applicable situations." That's maybe part of Benefits or could be separate but we can include in Benefits.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe combine some). But we must not create thin sections. We can combine some.
We need to decide which headings to use based on content.
We have:
- About the role: first paragraph describing role.
- Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills from Preferred Qualifications (editing skills, communication, organizational, etc.) Could be a separate Skills section.
- Benefits: as described.
- Pay: Anticipated Hiring Range.
- Schedule: Shift details.
We must not include sections with placeholder text. All have content.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no or . Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Politics Editor". Not to be used as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out application materials, sponsorship info, EEO, etc. Also remove "Application Materials ..." etc. Also remove "Sponsorship Information", "Benefit Eligibility" we keep benefits but not the link? We can keep description but not the link? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the benefits description but can we drop the URL? It's not substantive? It's a reference; maybe we can keep it but it's a link. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to benefits is not boilerplate; it's a reference. Might be okay to keep. But we could keep the description without the URL? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; the URL is substantive? It's a reference for more info; might be considered substantive. Safer to keep it.
But we need to avoid duplication: there may be duplicated lines like "St. Louis Public Radio" appears multiple times; we should keep only once? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we need to ensure we don't repeat same sentence. We'll craft our own summary but must preserve all substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. That means we cannot omit details; we must keep all info. However we can rephrase? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit any details, but we can rephrase? It says do not summarize away detail, meaning we shouldn't condense or lose details. We could keep the original sentences but remove duplication. So we need to include all the info from the posting, but we can organize into sections, removing boilerplate and duplicated lines.
Thus we need to include everything from the posting that is substantive: the description about the organization, role, responsibilities, supervision, location, moving allowance, shift, qualifications, preferred qualifications, pay range, grade, university title, internal applicants note, application materials (maybe we should remove as per instruction: remove application instructions). Actually instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop the "Application Materials ..." section. Also remove sponsorship information, EEO, etc. Also remove "Benefit Eligibility" is not boilerplate; it's substantive benefits description, we keep. Also remove "Equal Employment Opportunity" etc.
We also need to remove "Internal applicants can determine their University title by accessing the Talent Profile tile in myHR." That's maybe considered internal HR info; could be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly application instruction but it's internal info. Might be considered not substantive for external candidate? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; this is substantive for internal applicants but maybe we can keep? It's not boilerplate. However it's about internal applicants; could be considered not necessary for external. But to be safe, we keep it? The instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not those. So we keep.
But we also have "University Title:MEDIA PRODUCTION DIRECTOR III". That's substantive.
We also have "Grade: GGS-011". Keep.
We also have "Anticipated Hiring Range $70,000 - $86,632". Keep.
We also have "Shift 40 hours a week, M-F with occasional on-call/weekend editing shift". Keep.
We also have "A moving allowance is available in applicable situations." Keep.
We also have "Location: This position is based in St. Louis. The Politics Editor must live in or relocate to the region." Keep.
We also have "Supervision Received: The Politics Editor reports to the Managing Editor of News." Keep.
We also have "Supervision Exercised: This position supervises a team of 4 reporters and may occasionally coordinate with interns or freelance contributors." Keep.
We also have "Key Responsibilities" list.
We also have "Minimum Qualifications".
We also have "Preferred Qualifications".
We also have "Preferred Experience covering politics in Missouri and Illinois..." etc.
We also have "Excellent communication skills..." etc.
We also have "Experience managing or mentoring reporters." etc.
We also have "Interest in contributing to the development of sustainable newsroom workflows."
We also have "Familiarity with a newsroom CMS, audio scripting formats, and AP Style."
We also have "Strong editing skills and a track record of improving clarity, structure and depth in others’ work."
We also have "Proven ability to manage fast-moving news while maintaining accuracy and editorial integrity."
We also have "Strong organizational skills and comfort managing shifting priorities on deadline."
We also have "Additionally, we are looking for candidates with the following:" then list.
We also have "Preferred Qualifications Additionally, we are looking for candidates with the following:" Actually the text: "Preferred Qualifications Additionally, we are looking for candidates with the following:" then bullet list.
We need to parse.
Let's extract all substantive sentences.
