Editor

Do you want to report, edit and ski? If so, The Aspen Times is searching for the next editor to lead its newsroom in Aspen, Colorado.

At The Aspen Times, we cover the incredible mountain communities in Pitkin County as well as the greater Roaring Fork Valley and have been doing so since 1881. You and your team will put out a daily paper, a weekly section and several seasonal magazines throughout the year. To make things even more interesting, Aspen is a media-rich town, complete with a public radio station, a non-profit journalism organization and, not one, but two daily newspapers.

We work as a team to produce award-winning, impactful journalism, and we seek to hold authority accountable and inform our communities of Aspen, Snowmass and Basalt. On any given day, you’ll be writing and editing stories on topics as diverse as sustainability, local athletes, philanthropic endeavors, education, the police beat, real estate and entertainment.

The editor will know how to drive online audience growth, and be experienced in meeting the demands of a 24-7 news cycle, while maintaining a first-class print edition. We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable wielding digital tools to elevate the paper’s journalism and reach and working with a rookie reporter to create an engaging and eye-catching print feature.

In addition to living in the ultimate year-round recreation playground and little city with international impact, this position offers an opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the community through the journalism the paper produces.
