Reading Eagle seeks business editor

Some newspapers have cut back on their business coverage. At the Reading Eagle, we have increased it, and we’re looking for a new editor to lead the staff that produces that coverage. In addition to daily business pages, we produce a weekly business tabloid focusing on issues and longer features.

We want someone who not only understands business news, but who also will produce new ideas, provide leadership and mentoring and pay special attention to accuracy and details.

The Eagle, with a circulation of 50,000 daily and 70,000 Sunday, has been adding products and staff and is emphasizing an increasingly aggressive news direction. We are continuing to build on a reputation as one of the best newsrooms in the state. We have earned the sweepstakes award as the top newspaper in our division for the last two years in the Keystone Press Awards.

If you are the editor who fits that mold, send your resume, 5-6 clips, references and a cover letter to Harry J. Deitz Jr., editor, at hdeitz@readingeagle.com.
