Long Island Business News seeks editor

Long Island Business News is seeking a dynamic editor who can manage a seasoned newsroom, keeping local business news front and center for our readership. The ideal candidate will have sharp editing skills, a knack for headline writing and the ability to produce compelling pages.

There is room to run here, with a supportive publisher and a company that values quality content. The position is high profile, and the editor serves as the face of the newspaper at many public functions.

If you can coach an motivate experienced reporters, if you can spot a story’s central conflict and make the end product bullet-proof, if you are fearless, aggressive, skeptical and refuse to publish sub-standard work – all while maintaining your sense of humor, of course – please send a resume.

LIBN offers up-to-the-minute news on politics and government, technology, real estate, finance, health care, law and small business in print and on libn.com. Our weekly produces award-winning content year after year and has been recognized nationally for its layout and use of art.

Our office is on Long Island. New York City is 45 minutes to our west, and the Hamptons is to our east where you can find some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Throughout Long Island there are plenty of world-class fairways. At a moment’s notice you have the opportunity to head out on the water for a boating, fishing or sailing excursion.

To apply, send resume and cover letter to publisher Scott Schoen at scott.schoen@libn.com
