Job Description

The Journal, an award-winning five-day daily newspaper in the Golden Corner of South Carolina, is looking for a self-starter, detail-oriented and hardworking Managing Editor to join the team and help our newspaper continue to thrive.

With a relatively young and energetic newsroom, the ideal candidate for this position is someone who enjoys working as part of a team and is passionate about telling the stories of the community in exciting, original and imaginative ways.

This position will primarily manage the flow of the newsroom and its team of reporters, while carrying its own beat consisting mainly of the major local municipalities. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with strong writing and reporting skills, knowledge of AP style and a natural curiosity that lends itself to asking deeper questions. The candidate will need to be skilled in source building and able to mine information not readily available and understand the uniqueness of the market and what our readership wants and expects from its local paper.

We are an employee-owned newspaper that prints Wednesday and Saturday with an electronic edition online Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

The Journal is based in Seneca, S.C., a wonderland for anyone who loves the great outdoors and small-town living. Nestled among some of the most picturesque lakes and waterfalls the Southeast has to offer, Seneca is within miles of the vibrant college town of Clemson to the east and a short drive from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the north and west. Also nearby is Greenville, S.C., one of the South's top mid-sized cities, and both Atlanta and Charlotte are within a couple hours along Interstate 85, which runs through our county.

The Journal is part of The Edwards Group of newspapers and radio stations; The Edwards Group is an employee-owned company and an equal opportunity employer.
