Description:
The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, one of the best small
newspapers in Washington, needs a No. 2 editor who can also provide coverage of
local government and politics.
It’s the best of both worlds – reporting and newsroom
leadership.
A few specifics about the reporting job:
• This job is about living, breathing people and how
government affects their lives. People want to know if their neighborhoods are
safe, if they can find jobs and if their tax money is being spent responsibly.
• That means you’ll be doing a lot of enterprise stories,
which could involve any number of issues.
• And, since this is a collaborative newsroom, you’ll need
to throw yourself into conversations and projects that involve journalists who
share your same commitment to this community.
As for the editing job:
• You’re backstopping the managing editor. You’ll serve as the
lead editor in her absence.
• As deputy editor, you’ll develop news and feature
coverage for digital audiences, make assignments and edit content.
• You’ll also take the lead on preparation and analysis of
news analytics.
Requirements:
•
Three or more years as a
professional editor or reporter. Experience leading reporting teams or
spearheading large newsroom projects. Editing experience.
• Strong news judgment, highly developed interpersonal
skills, a background in digital journalism, a basic familiarity with digital
analytics tools, and experience using social media to engage news audiences.
• Excellent time management and organizational skills.

loves the outdoors. And if you enjoy big cities, Seattle and Portland are both
about four hours away.
