F/T City Editor-Patriot Ledger – based in Quincy, MA
After more than 170 years of uninterrupted publication, The Patriot Ledger virtually defines the large area of greater Boston known as the “South Shore.” We are so much a part of community life that the term “Ledgerland” has become local shorthand for the zeitgeist as well as the geography of the region. “Ledgerland” is an area that encompasses a medium-sized city with a vibrant economic base and an increasingly-diverse population, as well as large and small towns that date back to the earliest colonial times, and lots and lots of ocean front and natural beauty. If you are familiar with this part of the world, you know what we’re talking about. If you’re not, but are willing to become deeply immersed in it, we would welcome you. We are looking for a dynamic, experienced professional to direct news operations at the Ledger. We value innovative thinking, proven leadership and excellent communications skills. Our emphasis on producing a unique local report, complemented by strong community and investigative journalism, demands solid and creative news judgment and the know-how to provide multi-faceted, multi-form information to our print and digital audiences. The right candidate for city editor of The Patriot Ledger will direct a highly-motivated, award-winning team through daily news cycles, participate in long-range project development, assume key administrative responsibilities, and participate in annual and monthly financial management reporting. Our news operation is one of more than the 100 print publications and 150 community web sites of GateHouse Media New England, the largest news organization in Massachusetts.

The Herald has a proud tradition of meeting the community's need for smarter local journalism that not only reports the news, but also puts it in context so readers understand how it affects them. For the right editor, the Herald will offer the opportunity to grow the paper's online and print presence, bolstered by a reporting staff and sports editor.

Business Reporter

Try Some Reporting That Really Matters. Maybe you've noticed lately that business news is important. Perhaps you're thinking to yourself, "I know I don't know much about subprime loans, but apparently neither did the folks making them." Maybe you went into journalism to cover the stuff that really matters to people. You thought that would be politics -- but, really, it all comes down to money. If the last few weeks haven't proven that to you, we're not sure what could.

So here's a choice: go to a general interest newspaper and sit around covering inland wetlands commission meetings and the local second grade Cub Scouts outing, or work for us and cover the biggest stories around. We're looking for reporters who'd rather spend their time out digging up a good story than sitting around the office moping about the state of the industry. We're The Warren Group, publishers of Banker & Tradesman and The Commercial Record newspapers. With 135 years of newspapering behind us, the fun's just starting.

This isn't business review dreck, or journalism that panders. We cover the trail of money, the stories that make our economy soar or swoon. If you know how to dig behind the obvious, if you know your responsibility is to be smarter than your readers, if you know that great storytelling is rooted in both cleverness and deep understanding, then you may be the reporter we're looking for.

You'll need at least two years' reporting experience (preferably at a daily) and clips that demonstrate you know how to beckon readers. You'll write about the commercial real estate markets for both our weekly newspapers and our up-to-the-minute web sites. You'll work with smart editors who can help you learn the lingo (and what it means in English), but you'll also be out in the community, developing sources and finding breaking news.

We offer competitive pay, great benefits, a lively work environment, and a chance to do the best work of your career. Respond with resume, clips, salary history and something more than a form cover letter to: Vincent Valvo, editor-in-chief, vvalvo@thewarrengroup.com.
