Flagged as what’s hot and happening in the world, the section editor should have good journalistic contacts abroad plus excellent relationships with all the travel PRs. The role involves going to go to all the launch parties and lunches but it’s not about rewriting press releases. Word of mouth needs someone who can come up with original ideas, will spot a first and get an exclusive, and is as interested in fashion as food, hotels as hot-air ballooning, river boat cruises as restaurants, since the section covers every aspect of the world – as long as it’s new and relevant to Traveller. Coming up with brilliant headlines and witty caption copy is a plus since the pieces are short. A sound knowledge of geography and current affairs is as important as an ability to deal with last-minute changes. It's a job for someone who's not afraid of hard work since the hours may be long and pressures exacting. Languages are a definite bonus.
