Description:

The Warren County Record, an award-winning weekly publication, has an immediate opening for an editor who can direct our news coverage. The perfect candidate will be able to handle all editorial functions in print and online and understand the importance of relationships in the community. This is a great position for someone who wants to be creative and innovative.

This is not a desk job as our editor is our primary news writer and photographer. We want local names and faces to fill each publication. We’re looking for someone who is versatile enough to cover a city council or school board meeting one night, then be able to write a great feature the next day. 

Located between St. Louis and Columbia, cost of living is low with city amenities nearby. Don't work for a corporate chain when you can join an independent, family-owned company that values community journalism and its employees and is poised for future growth. Warren County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state and we have the variety of stories to appeal to a news hound.

This full-time position includes a competitive salary; benefits including health, dental and vision insurance. To apply, please send writing and design samples to Publisher Tim Schmidt at tim@mystandardnews.com for immediate consideration.
