  • News Editor

    News Editor

    Job description
    KDRTV seeks an outstanding, accomplished journalist to direct news coverage.
    We are an ambitious news organization with high standards and a talented staff, and we need a sensational journalist to help lead our efforts. We aim to do it all – from breaking news to major investigations. For the right candidate, this is a fantastic opportunity. But you must be able to juggle a lot: big enterprise stories, medium-length dailies and quick breaking news. You will be involved in election coverage planning and may be called upon occasionally to help produce special sections.
    This editor is one of the assignment editors on our news desk, supervising 2 to 5 reporters and working closely with the other assignment. There is a heavy emphasis on getting breaking news to readers’ mobile devices and laptops as soon as it happens, but we also have a huge appetite for strong, exclusive enterprise journalism. We care deeply about beautiful writing, but our news organization’s defining characteristic is watchdog journalism.
    The right candidate for this position possesses all of these qualities: You work with reporters as each story is conceived and throughout its development. You enjoy working collaboratively with your own staff and with other editors. You are as concerned with the depth of big Sunday stories as you are with getting breaking news posted quickly. You ask a lot of questions and prosecute stories. You think visually. You see interactive and multimedia potential in every idea. You monitor coverage in other publications. You recognize the value of social media, and you engage with it. You work with a sense of urgency.
    If you are the best at what you do and share our zeal for ambitious journalism, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. You will be part of Maine’s finest and largest news gathering 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. Please provide your resume, and also be prepared to submit five examples of work you directed.
