San Jose Mercury News seeks assistant biz editor

The Bay Area News Group, which includes the San Jose Mercury News, the Contra Costa Times and the Oakland Tribune, is looking for a top-notch journalist to work as an assistant business editor.

Our papers cover the Bay Area economy and the Silicon Valley high-technology industry, and we are seeking a high-energy editor with a strong news sense as well as the ability to shape and develop high-end enterprise stories. We have high standards, and you should to. Business experience is a plus, but not required, but previous editing experience is.
