Front Porch-Northeast Denver newspaper (FrontPorchNE.com) distributes almost 25,000 papers monthly to readers in Central Park, Park Hill, Mayfair/Montclair, Lowry and NW Aurora. The paper is looking to fill our half-time Editor position. Since we are already showing signs of post-pandemic growth, it is likely that this position, as well as the three other staff positions, will increase in hours and salary in the not-too-distant future to cover producing a larger paper.

Editor's primary responsibilities:
-Generating local story ideas
-Writing objective and accurate articles (the paper does not have a regular editor's column)
-Continuing the paper's tradition of interviews with local experts to reflect on how they see the impact of broader issues in the city, state and nation in NE Denver
-Working closely and cooperatively with the Design Editor
-Assigning and editing freelance writers' work
-Responding to phone and email correspondence about the paper (mobile phone with the paper's main number is provided)
-Maintaining the paper's commitment to journalistic standards in the written product and exhibiting these standards and ethics as he/she engages with the community
-Meeting deadlines

Additional responsibilities/expectations:
-Writing updates to website articles and/or posts on the paper's Facebook page with mid month local news as needed
-Attending meetings that keep the paper tuned in to NE Denver news and news sources
-Listening and participating in meetings with staff regarding current concerns and future planning for the paper

Hours:
The position is currently half time (approximately 20 hours per week), one of a four-person team of co equal part time employees who work collaboratively in producing the paper. The Design Editor and the Business Manager have been with Front Porch for close to 15 years each. The Ad Sales Manager more recently joined Front Porch, bringing expertise in print ad sales that indicates all positions and salaries are likely to increase in the not-too-distant future to cover working on a larger paper.

The Editor and other staff work remotely, communicate regularly, collaborate with each other to ensure a smooth production process, and set their own hours to complete high quality work by their deadlines.
