About The Position
The Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is seeking an inspirational, transformative leader to guide this award-winning newsroom to new heights of audience growth, digital innovation, and powerful journalism. The Post is the hometown paper of President Trump and Mar-a-Lago, the power hub of the incoming Administration. The next editor should not only be ready to build upon the Post's rich legacy of local accountability and investigative journalism focused on service to Palm Beach County and South Florida, but reflect a deep understanding of national politics, Republican power dynamics and how they are shaped. The ideal candidate has a track record of producing journalism that is essential to the community it serves, and that reaches new and existing audiences across multiple and ever-evolving platforms. This is a person fluid in news analytics, energized by new ideas, and whose enthusiasm for great journalism is contagious - all with the goal of finding readers and converting them into loyal subscribers. The right editor also intrinsically knows the importance of diversity and inclusion in our work, and ensures everyone feels valued, accepted and included in our workplace. We want someone who gets out into the community - all parts of it - and listens, witnesses, and strives to direct coverage that accurately and fearlessly examines the varying currents shaping the region, and by extension, the nation. The Post newsroom is filled with talented journalists who are passionate about their work. We need a strong communicator and collaborator who can help them produce the best journalism of their careers. This is a person with impeccable journalism credentials, outstanding leadership skills, and a keen grasp of the ever-changing digital space, including a strong knowledge of visual storytelling. The right editor is people-centric, has high standards, remains focused on the most important priorities and opportunities, and easily shifts between strategy and execution.
