Editor/Reporter

The Mexico Ledger, a weekly publication, has an immediate opening for an editor/reporter who can direct our editorial coverage. The perfect candidate will be able to handle all editorial functions in print and online and understand the importance of relationships in the community. This is a great position for someone who wants to be creative and innovative.

This is not a desk job as our editor/reporter is our primary news writer and photographer. We want local names and faces to fill each publication. We’re looking for someone who is versatile enough to cover a city council or school board meeting one night, then be able to write a great feature the next day. We're also looking to expand our online presence with a monthly video show.

This full-time position includes a competitive salary and benefits including health, dental and vision insurance. Some experience is preferred, but recent graduates with excellent writing and photography skills are welcome to apply. Send resume, samples of your work and references to Publisher Tim Schmidt at tim@mystandardnews.com.
