The Norfolk Daily News – an independent, family-owned news organization serving the northeast quarter of Nebraska – is seeking an editor to guide its approximately 15-person newsroom and play a key role on its leadership team. The Daily News, which has been owned by the same family for more than 125 years, is known for its commitment to community advocacy and a conservative worldview, and is seeking an editor who embraces those foundational pillars.
The Daily News publishes not only a six-day-a-week afternoon newspaper, but also a variety of digital products that continue to grow in scope. Its next editor will have a track record of journalistic excellence and a broad knowledge of the issues, challenges and opportunities in the evolving world of community journalism. The Daily News is seeking an individual who is equally comfortable in meeting with high-ranking elected officials as well as individual subscribers. The editor will especially be knowledgeable and excited about the digital side of journalism and how best to distribute content to effectively reach Nebraskans of all ages.
