They set the editorial vision for their market, coach and develop reporting staff, and ensure the newsroom is producing work that is accurate, impactful, and deeply rooted in the community’s information needs. At the same time, they bring enough business fluency to be a credible partner to local civic leaders and business owners by opening doors, building relationships, and cultivating the community support that sustains our work. This role requires a deep commitment to GTLN’s mission of strengthening community newspapers, fostering local engagement, and building stronger, more connected communities. It is not a desk job. The best Editor & Publishers are out in the community as much as they are in the newsroom. They are present, trusted, and essential.

Business Awareness

Support GTLN’s Revenue Lead in cultivating relationships with local businesses and advertisers, serving as a credible community champion for the value of local journalism.
