Hartford Business Journal seeks web editor

The Hartford Business Journal, an award winning business media organization, is looking for a web editor with a deep journalism background and social media skills.

The web editor will lead HBJ’s online news efforts and products including CT Morning Blend and HBJ Today. The right candidate must be able to meet tight, daily deadlines and long-term story deadlines.

Primary responsibilities will be writing, editing, and posting breaking news to the web (HartfordBusiness.com) and sending out our two daily e-newsletters.

HBJ Today is generated using staff and wire content. The web editor writes most of the content (usually 5 to 7 story briefs a day) and then sends the email at noon.

The position will also require writing news stories for print.
