The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram seeks a part-time editor to edit stories, lay out pages and help run our news site.
We are an ambitious news organization with high standards, and we need a talented editor who can work in both digital and print. The top candidate will be both a sophisticated story editor and a talented news designer who can work on tight deadlines. We need an editor who’s comfortable switching between print and digital – and doing both at the same time.
A minimum of three years editing and laying out pages for a news organization is required.
The position will require a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends.
If you are the best at what you do and share our zeal for ambitious journalism, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. You will be part of Maine’s finest and largest newsgathering operation, and you’ll live in a region with an extraordinarily high quality of life. Local candidates are preferred; relocation expenses are not available. Please include 3 to 5 examples of your page designs.
We are an EEO employer.
