Editor

There’s a small weekly newspaper in rural New Mexico waiting on new life. Its owner and editor is planning his retirement and seeks someone (or a couple) to take over and expand its news operations with fresh reporting, community features and a unique online presence. Also part of the operation is a news-sharing service for small town newspapers around the state, so your good work will be shared with neighboring publications.

The newspaper is profitable and poised to grow online and in hardcopy form, and will be placed up for sale in the not-so-distant future. So, if you’re interested in owning your own news operation, this editor’s job could be the stepping stone you’ll need. It can be a two-year gig for someone seeking to launch their career in journalism, or a permanent assignment in a vibrant and diverse community that values its hometown newspaper.
