The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock has an opening for a news copy editor.
We’re hunting a journalist who loves words and grammar, and takes delight in learning something new every day. We aim to consistently deliver a well-edited, interesting newspaper to our readers.
The person we hire for this position, which is on our night copy desk, will be expected to edit stories for grammar, AP style and content; and to write accurate, attention-grabbing headlines. Some of our copy editors also fill in, as needed, on the wire desk, so a job candidate with wire experience is preferred for this position.
We are seeking someone who has at least a year of daily newspaper copy-editing experience, which can include internships.
The salary is based on experience. Resumes, including a list of job references and examples of headlines and editing, should be directed to:
