News Editor

THE COVINGTON NEWS IS HIRING!
If you’ve got a passion for community journalism, a nose for breaking news and shaping coverage and a penchant for storytelling that takes readers beyond the obvious, The Covington News is looking for you.

Who We Are

The News is hiring for an immediate opening for its News Editor position. Our outgoing news editor absolutely owned our coverage area, and while we can’t replace him, we’re going to do our best to try.
We are a twice-weekly print newspaper that also prioritizes news coverage on social media and our digital platforms (website and mobile app) 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’re nestled in the heart of the booming southeast Atlanta suburb of Covington, Georgia which means you’ll get the opportunity to tell the stories of a close-knit community while also feeling the impact of a major metropolitan city.
We’re a small but cohesive staff, and you’ll be the backbone of our news coverage, particularly with a bead on crime, courts and coverage of the City of Covington as it experiences unprecedented economic and industrial growth.

What You’ll Do

You’ll have the chance to edit copy, help tutor reporters/freelancers and do in-depth storytelling that goes beyond the “who, what and where” to unpack the “why” and “how” that not only makes for good reading but sparks important conversations about the rapid and unprecedented growth in our community.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape the comprehensive way we approach our coverage, placing your imprint on everything from designing our print products and crafting strategy for multimedia storytelling to how we break news and provide “spin forward” analysis that gives people an idea of what further developments to look for in a major breaking story.

What You’ll Receive

The News is a privately owned publication, as part of Newton Newspapers Inc. We offer a competitive salary commensurate to the position and our newspaper’s size with a benefits package that includes medical, vision, dental and paid vacation.

How To Apply

To apply, please send a cover letter, résumé with references and three to five writing clips to Gabriel Stovall at gstovall@covnews.com. *NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE*
