Multiplatform Editors

The Portland Press Herald – which is now part of the nonprofit Maine Trust for Local News – seeks multiple outstanding, accomplished journalists to edit stories, lay out pages and help run our website.

We are an ambitious news organization with high standards and a talented staff, and we need a superb editor to join our team. The person hired for this position needs many skills, and the duties may change depending on the day. Over the course of the week, this editor could lay out pages, design Local or Sports sections fronts, design Page One, edit and post staff stories, select and post national and world news, write headlines, and determine the presentation of journalism on our website.

Our editors are more than grammar sticklers. They prosecute stories, looking for holes and structural problems. They sharpen headlines, ledes and captions. They pay close attention to how our journalism is rendered digitally and improve its display without being asked.

If you are the best at what you do and share our passion for ambitious journalism, this is a great opportunity. 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. A minimum of five years of daily news experience is required.

We offer:

Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
Short/Long Term Disability & Life Insurance
Employee Assistance Program
401k with company match

We are an EEO employer.
