The Uintah Basin Standard in Roosevelt, Utah, is currently seeking a motivated editor to lead its newsroom.
The Standard is an award winning weekly paper with a paid circulation approaching 5,700. We cover it all – the oil and gas industry, county and city government, cops and courts, civic events, and community happenings. If you've got a passion for producing community journalism at its finest, we want to talk to you.
The requirements for this position are simple: We want someone who can turn a dull press release into a journalistic gem; someone who is well versed in AP style; someone comfortable interviewing everyone from the governor to the kindergarten class president; and someone handy with a camera or not afraid to learn.
As the editor you'll also be responsible for making weekly story assignments, managing two full-time reporters and three correspondents, covering your own beats, writing your own stories and the editorial, and a bevy of other responsibilities too numerous to list.
If you're interested in this position, please respond to this ad before someone else does. (
