Editor - Daily Newspaper in Southern Ohio
Portsmouth Daily Times
The Portsmouth Daily Times seeks an energetic, forward-thinking editor to lead both the Daily Times and the weekly Community Common. The Daily Times publishes six days a week, Monday-Saturday. The 32,000 circulation Community Common is published on Sunday. In addition to our print products the newspaper has a robust website and social media presence. See our website at portsmouth-dailytimes.com. Our editor should be an individual who understands how to connect content to our readers by providing depth and context to the news we deliver. Our next editor should be someone who can mentor a staff and develop an open dialogue with readers and community leaders. In addition, our editor is part of the management team of the newspaper and is a part of the face of our newspaper in the communities we serve.
Additionally, s/he will: * Have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of local news. * Understand the value of social media and use it as much as an engagement tool as a promotional tool. * Constantly search for new ways to tell stories and present news, both online and in print. * Understand and manage a news budget. * Be a constant, contributing reporter. * Write 2-3 editorials each week on local or state issues that impact Scioto County.
If you value local journalism, love nothing better than helping journalists grow in their craft, believe newspapers – both online and print – remain the foundation of an informed community, and are looking for a great community in which to live, we want to hear from you. Email us your resume`, five working links to some of your latest and best reporting (editorials, too, if you have them), and a cover letter explaining why you’re the best person for this job. Please send those documents to Bud Hunt, bhunt@civitasmedia.com
