Local Managing Editor (CCJ) - Center for Community Journalism
The Stockton Record /recordnet.com, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK , seeks an on-site dynamic, digitally-focused innovator for a local managing editor position, who can lead and supervise a news reporting team.
This local editor must love coaching and developing journalists to reveal important news, create stories with context and clarity.
The right candidate defends and advances the newsroom’s work and is out in the community representing the newspaper.
This local editor will drive breaking news online and has a laser focus on growing digital audience through engaging content and effective use of social media, SEO, and other tactics.
The job requires a mentor who can help reporters improve their newsgathering and writing skills, cultivate deep sourcing and take on ever-more sophisticated work. But it also requires a player who can nimbly do what needs to be done to help our newsrooms create relevant coverage that not only increases our reach but also drives loyalty and encourages more readers to subscribe.
The job requires a problem solver who is well-organized, can work independently and exercises solid news judgment. Collaboration and teamwork skills are a must; this local editor will work closely with an audience team to maintain a consistent flow of quality stories, visuals and other content, enforce deadlines and identify opportunities.
Dedication to transparency and accountability is key, as well as an eye for meaningful enterprise and watchdog stories with a focus on solutions.
Local editors are part of a team in Gannett’s Center for Community Journalism, a nationwide leadership, editing and planning structure supporting small and mid-sized newsrooms. They may work across multiple newsrooms and even across state lines, so curiosity and commitment to remote teams and other communities is essential. The CCJ is designed to prioritize what matters most to local communities – even those that don’t have an on-site local editor.
The local editor reports to a group editor and supervises frontline journalists within the wider context of the CCJ.
Pay Range: $66,000 to $70,000 DOE
