This job requires an experienced editor who knows how to help reporters source up, break news, spot trends and capture the next big idea well ahead of the competition.

Elevate copy and deliver stories with sharp takeaways and framing.  Foster a supportive, empathetic work culture that furthers staff development and sets high expectations for achievement.     Preferred qualifications:   At least five years of professional journalism experience.  A track record of managing reporters and editing with distinction, preferably on topics related to Washington policymaking and/or the technology industry.   A sophisticated understanding of The Post’s approach to business and tech journalism, which prioritizes accountability reporting about companies, their social and political impact and their often-fraught interactions with government and regulators.   This position is based in our Washington, D.C., newsroom.   Interested applicants should submit a résumé and a cover letter outlining their vision for the role to our jobs portal. All application materials can be uploaded to the same field. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, but those received by March 24 will be prioritized.

For those of you not familiar with the medical term “fatigue,” let me describe it. I experienced it while having mono, undergoing chemotherapy, and again now with #LongCovid.

Think back to a time when you were as tired as you’ve ever been. Not sleepy, but completely physically exhausted, to where you couldn’t wait to get into bed.

Now imagine that you’re in bed, but you don’t feel as if you’ve laid down yet. You’re still that tired. Hours pass. Maybe you sleep all night. You wake up, and you’re still that exhausted. The exhaustion is deep in your bones, and nothing can relieve it.

You can’t think straight. You can’t hold a conversation. You can’t read because holding a book or tablet is too tiring and you can’t focus anyway. You can’t watch anything.

You don’t let yourself cry because then you’d have to blow your nose afterwards, and you’re too tired to do that.

Maybe in a day or two you start feeling as if you can get up and do something, so you tackle the most urgent thing. Or you get a burst of adrenaline and manage to deal with a crisis. Then you’re back to being that exhausted. It goes on for days, or weeks, or months.

You feel as if you should just make yourself exercise a little, and then it’ll get better. You do something small, like a walk. Or you get online for a couple of rousing discussions. The next morning, you wake up exhausted again. You overdid it. Of course you hide this from your friends and colleagues, because nobody wants to hear the same thing every day: “I’m completely exhausted.”

This is what millions of people with #LongCovid are experiencing, and we don’t know yet how to treat it or when it will end.
