The classroom for visual journalism
Be our morning editor, and have a life, near D.C.
Army Times Publishing Co., a Gannett company, has an opening for a morning editor to help us copy edit and present our Web sites. Everyone on our Web and copy desks came from general-circulation daily newspapers, and most of us started without a particular knowledge of the military -- so at the outset, your knowledge of the military need be only that of a well-informed journalist. Our Web desk is an integral part of our newsroom and has the full support of all of our departments. Unlike at most newspapers, our copy desk plays a significant role in our Web presentations -- so there’s vast opportunity to exercise your devotion to the printed word, and acquire or maintain Web skills at the same time.
As morning editor, you'll be the first person each weekday to update sites for the four Times newsweeklies -- Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times -- Defense News and Federal Times, plus, as needed, three journals. You'll set the tone of our sites each weekday morning. You must be able to write clear headlines and polish copy, and be capable of improving and adapting stories and presenting news. You must be exceptionally reliable, and be a quick thinker yet be readily accepting of others' good ideas -- this is a really collaborative newsroom. You’ll be an experienced copy editor not afraid of working within, and navigating throughout, a digital interface for posting content directly to the Web, with a thirst to learn everything you can to make yourself a self-sufficient Web editor. Familiarity with HTML, CSS and Photoshop is a plus.
The papers' total circulation is 250,000. We are based in Springfield, Va., just inside the beltway. Although we cover the military, we're independent from it. Our readers are mostly soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. We serve them as a daily newspaper serves its community -- the readers come first -- but you can work here and still have a personal life. We do most of our work during the daytime, Monday through Friday. The successful applicant will be a strong copy editor and headline writer with two or three years of experience in general-circulation daily newspapers; an efficient manager of time; and, most important, an intelligent, fun-loving person who works well on a team. We are an equal-opportunity employer.
