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.
