Position Title: Listings Editor

 

California's most scenic, and affordable, coastline nestled in the shadows of the redwood forests. An award-winning newspaper tracking small-town politics and big-time environmental issues. Mentoring by an editor with 30 years' experience at papers big and small who has settled in this remote patch of paradise.

 

The Triplicate in Crescent City is looking for a reporter to join its small but vibrant news team. We're a 6,000-circulation newspaper that emphasizes crisp writing, smart reporting, innovative local coverage, teamwork and a nice mix of stories. We just swept first and second places statewide in the breaking news coverage category of the California Newspaper Publishers Association annual Better Newspapers Contest.

 

We publish Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, which often means weekends off.

 

The pay is what you'd expect for a paper our size, but Del Norte County may be the most economical coastal area for housing costs in the West. Our beats are fluctuating, and there's plenty of great stories to go around.

 

This is an exceptional opportunity for a developing reporter who already has some clips to show or an experienced reporter looking to continue to ply the waters of journalism.

 

E-mail or send a cover letter, resume and clips to Richard Wiens, editor, The Triplicate, at rwiens@triplicate.com, or P.O. Box 277, Crescent City, CA 95531. And check out the area at exploredelnorte.com
