The successful candidate will be responsible for providing essential guidance on a wide range of legal matters, including but not limited to, First Amendment law, data and privacy, company strategy, corporate governance, agreements and transactions, regulatory compliance, and employment and union issues. This role requires a hands-on legal professional with a problem-solving mindset, extensive experience in media or related industries, and expertise in areas such as editorial content, advertising, marketing, and a variety of legal contracts.
