Providence Business News seeks web editor

Providence Business News. Southern New England’s leading business publication is looking for an enterprising, energetic, entrepreneurial editor/writer to help produce the region’s premier online business report, as well as coordinate and maintain the newspaper’s constantly updated, award-winning website, and take the lead on our social media strategy.

Within the last two years we were judged to be the best designed newspaper website in New England by the New England Newspaper and Press Association and the second-best website in the nation by the Alliance of Area Business Publishers, as well as Newspaper of the Year by NENPA. PBN.com complements the insight and perspective provided by the weekly print edition by breaking news – through the site as well as e-newsletters – to keep the region’s business leaders up to date on what they need to know.

In addition, the Web editor covers the technology beat, requiring a regular contribution to the print edition. We would prefer a business background, as well as Web skills (including familiarity with HTML), but it is more important to demonstrate an interest in learning and a talent for clear communication. PBN is locally owned, meaning we care about this community; it is where we live.

Send resume, writing samples and examples of Web work to Mark Murphy, editor, Providence Business News, 400 Westminster St., Suite 600, Providence, R.I. 02903. You may e-mail material to editor@pbn.com. No phone calls.
