Our Managing Editor leads all newsgathering efforts across these channels and supervises a 10-person newsroom.

We cover the biggest and smallest moments in our communities; everything from border policy and elections turmoil to high school graduations. Our coverage area stretches across Southern Arizona and touches both Mexico and New Mexico. The Herald/Review is the flagship publication of Wick Communications, which is also headquartered in Sierra Vista.

Successful candidates will have a demonstrated history of producing top-notch journalism and a desire to elevate our award-winning work to the next level.

Qualifications:

  • Experience leading a news team
  • Comfortable overseeing news production across mediums, including photo/video, podcasts and social media
  • A truly digital-first mindset and drive to meet audiences where they are
  • Desire to pursue ambitious enterprise stories and major editorial projects
  • Comfortable coaching reporters and developing early-career journalists
  • Based in Cochise County or willing to relocate
  • And the usual stuff: Highly collaborative, effective communicator, strong knowledge of AP Style, excellent writing and editing skills

This is a full-time, salaried position with full benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, and a 401k retirement plan. We are an equal opportunity employer.
