The community engagement editor is at the crux of the CVJC newsroom’s relationships with its community of readers, viewers, listeners and supporters. This editor is an astute social media wizard, able to not only use social platforms to spread the word about CVJC’s journalism, but to monitor the pulse of our audiences to keep us informed on the topics, questions and developments that matter most to the Central Valley. The CVJC newsroom sees itself not as a uni-directional media platform, but as a collaborative community-oriented team that responds to and creatively engages with people and organizations. The Community Engagement Editor will be key in the CVJC’s goal to build relationships and create an environment where community members feel invested in and welcomed by the newsroom. It’s all part of CVJC’s nonprofit mission to serve the public, foster civic engagement and encourage participation in democracy.
