The Republican Copy Editor / Page Designer in Springfield, MA [1]

[]

Date: 2023-08

The Republican of Springfield seeks multi-talented copy editor/page designers

We’re situated in the hometown of basketball and Kurt Russell, and we’ve even published the poetry of Emily Dickinson (while she was alive). The word “Ms.” was first used on our pages, and we are credited with advancing the now-famous name of a major U.S. political party.

The Republican in Springfield, Massachusetts — a repeat winner of Newspaper of the Year honors — is looking for an audience-focused and collaborative copy editor and page designer to join our publications hub.

Our page designer/copy editors are the brains and muscle of Republican afternoon operations, designing and paginating news, arts, culture and sports pages for the print newspaper and e-editions; edit copy and photo captions; post stories to our award-winning website, MassLive.com; write award-winning headlines; and proofread pages.

Work varies, from daily and weekly newspapers to a Spanish language periodical, and other tabs and magazines. Our designers and editors have the ability to work independently as needed and prioritize multiple tasks appropriately, and all have experience with Adobe InDesign suite and Photoshop-like programs.

Our team contributes to the planning and execution of multiple publications, including daily and Sunday newspapers. Tasks often include the curation of stories, photos and graphics from multiple sources, including social media platforms, for use in print products.

Here’s what you should bring to the table: a degree in journalism or related experience; ability in writing, editing and producing high-quality print or e-edition pages; command of AP style and grammar; and demonstrated success working in a deadline-driven environment.

The Republican offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including health and dental benefits and paid time off. We also offer a hybrid work schedule, if desired, with three in-person and two remote shifts, which are primarily from 2 to 10 p.m.

Email your cover letter, resume and page samples to [email protected].

The Republican publishes in print and digital seven-days-a-week and is affiliated with MassLive.com, which served 8.5 million visitors last month. The Republican is committed to creating a diverse environment which reflects the diversity of the community we serve. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer, encouraging applications from people of all backgrounds. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status or any other category protected under federal, state or local law.
