Times of Northwest Indiana seeks business editor

The Times of Northwest Indiana is seeking a flexible, detail-oriented, organized and motivated editor to lead its award-winning three-person business desk.

We’re looking for an experienced journalist able to spot trends, be a watchdog, cultivate enterprise as well as recognize breaking news that reflects Northwest Indiana’s vibrant entrepreneurial and established industry communities.

This position calls for an editor who is as comfortable editing breaking business news as he/she is with editing enterprise and longer-form stories; a candidate who has one foot firmly in print and the other in multimedia.

The business editor is responsible for planning and editing the daily business section, planning and editing the bi-monthly IN Business magazine, and working a rotation as Saturday metro editor.

He/She also supervises three full-time reporters. This position is a member of the newsroom leadership team, and successful candidates must have a record of leading by example and collaboration with other members of the newsroom.

At least five years’ experience reporting and three years editing for digital and print platforms desired. To be considered for the position, applicants must apply online www.nwi.com/timesjobs . As part of your online application, please attach five samples of your work.
