My Horry News seeks a managing editor

My Horry News seeks a managing editor/government reporter eager to cover South Carolina’s fastest-growing county and perform daily editor duties. The ideal candidate must have newsroom experience. Experience as a government reporter is a plus.

You would join a fun, progressive company focused on publishing and creating engaging content supporting our audience in print and digital. The managing editor should have a sense of urgency, possess strong communication skills, and be a leader who can motivate our newsroom, work efficiently, and collaborate across departments. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to make a difference in a place that appreciates high-quality journalism.

The ideal candidate is someone who can engage readers, loves to write, will uncover interesting stories, understands the importance of community journalism, and enjoys their work. Photography, layout, and online posting are a must. Full-time with benefits and paid time off.

Requirements:

  • At least two years of news experience is preferred.
  • Must have strong writing skills and knowledge of AP style.
  • Must be highly organized and able to juggle numerous priorities simultaneously.
  • Must have excellent editing skills with attention to detail.
  • Should have a strong understanding of the state’s Freedom of Information Act.
  • Be able to work with the newsroom and adapt to assignment changes. We’re a small team, and when major news happens (hurricanes, floods, protests), we take an all-hands-on-deck approach.

Are you interested in doing great work in one of South Carolina’s most beautiful coastal counties? Please send your resume, cover letter, and three of your best stories to editor Hannah Strong Oskin at hannah.oskin@myhorrynews.com.
