The Press Democrat, a locally owned 60,000-circulation newspaper in Northern
California, has an opening for a full-time copy editor/page designer. We value
sharp design, well-organized writing, attention to detail in language and
layout, and headlines and design elements that clearly and accurately convey the
news. The Press Democrat values the contribution of their employees and offers a
competitive compensation plan. We also offer an array of benefits, including
medical, dental, vision, life, accident insurance and Paid Time Off.

The Press Democrat is committed to a drug and alcohol free workplace. Any job
offer is conditional upon satisfactorily completing a background investigation
and pre-employment drug testing.

To be considered please submit a cover letter and resume to:
hr@...
and state the title of the position you are applying for in the subject line.

A major online women's publication is seeking a freelance copy editor who can
work between the hours of 3 pm and 9 pm Pacific (sometimes a bit later as
needed) on weekdays and on the weekends as needed. This may be split up between
one person who works Tuesdays through Fridays and another who works Saturday
through Monday.

The contract requires that the freelancer edit any articles that appear in the
queue between those hours within one hour of posting (allowances are made if a
sudden influx appears). During the weekend, the copy editor is simply expected
to check the system every two or three hours to copy edit anything there and be
generally available by email in case of a trending story.

This is an ongoing project and the copy editor will receive some work each day
(though weekends may be slow) paid on a by-month per project basis. We are
willing to consider hiring two people to fulfill this need if they can work on
different days. Teams also acceptable. Typically, between 150 and 200 articles a
month are required.

The ideal copy editor:
Will have flexible availability during the times indicated and be willing and
able to put aside other projects to focus on the queue, as celebrity news is
fast-paced and the volume per day is unpredictable.
Is familiar with Entertainment news and celebrity gossip.
Has the ability to identify sensitive subject matter and remove any potentially
offensive attacks. (Writers are allowed to have negative opinions, but
unnecessarily attacking language is generally not permitted unless it's the
opinion of someone else.)
Is familiar with an online CMS (such as WordPress) and is comfortable working in
an online-only environment. Has a knowledge of linking, SEO, URL rewriting and
tagging (not a deal-breaker, but great experience).
Has a firm grasp of AP style (and is willing to learn house style where
applicable).
Is willing to make a long-term ongoing commitment to the hours requested.
(Again, this isn't a job, but the need isn't for only a few months.)
Is highly comfortable with U.S. English. (Overseas candidates will be considered
so long as U.S. English meets our standards.)
Is willing to take a proofreading test.
Is quick and accurate.
Willing to check celebrity names, movie and TV show titles, etc. for accuracy
during the copy editing process. NOTE: This is not an ideal position for someone
who has other obligations during these hours. The queue is unpredictable.
This position must be filled ASAP. Please email heather@... for more
information.

McMaster-Carr, an industrial supply company that's been around for more than 100
years, is looking to add smart, talented individuals to our web content
development team. In this role, you'll research a wide variety of industrial
products, design new ways of integrating and presenting information about these
items, research customer website behavior, create web layouts that help
customers find product intuitively, present and defend your ideas to all levels
of management, implement your plan, and test its functionality. Want to see a
little of what we're talking about? Go to our site, http://www.mcmaster.com/ and

products (you'll learn all you need to know on the job).  You just need to know

Visiting Assistant Professor/Knight Visiting News Editor

Do you want to help create the right, bright future for journalism? If so,
consider spending a year where that's happening every day.

You:  A top-notch news professional who has a strong foundation in the
principles of journalism but isn't stuck in past practices. You are the editor
who is ready to remake a digital production hub and interactive copy desk that
is already on the front edge. You not only speak for the quality and integrity
of stories, but for a new relationship with readers. You are savvy about social
media as an exciting way to report, publish and engage with the community. You
understand analytics and can help others interpret them to create better
journalism.

Us:  The nation's top journalism school with a professional daily newsroom at
its center. We build on more than 100 years of tradition and excellence to move
boldly into the future.  Our student staffs are led by experienced professionals
and together deliver award-winning community news. We pride ourselves on
innovation, experimentation and taking risks that many newsrooms can't or won't.
Words like "convergence" and "Web-first?" So yesterday. Our Interactive Copy
Desk is the hub of our digital newsroom. Our reporters grab whatever tool is
best to tell the story. And as soon as we figure those things out, we try
something new.

Sound like a good fit? Then apply to be the 2013-2014 Knight Visiting Editor at
the Missouri School of Journalism. Our team of editors each year welcomes a
visiting professional to learn, work and teach side-by-side with some of the
most forward-thinking people in the industry.

We want a person who believes in serving the public, can ask hard but respectful
questions about how readers and users interact with our news products, and can
help us find creative ways to meet reader needs.  We want someone who brings a
sense of joy and possibility about the future of news. Someone who is excited
about redefining copy editing in the digital age. Someone able to learn and lead
in our newsrooms and classrooms, and eager to share those lessons with the news
industry at large.

Did we say learn? You can take courses, at the j-school or elsewhere on campus
at a very low cost while here. Or let's say you hunger for new skills in CSS.
There's a free class for that and many other technical programs. Or you want the
latest from thought leaders on digital publishing. There's a conference for
that, and it's free too. Be sure to bring a brown bag,; in one week, lunches
here might feature a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, a nationally known editor, a
journalism scholar and an international war reporter.

As Visiting Editor, you will be based at the Columbia Missourian, a
service-oriented news organization that collaborates with professional radio,
broadcast and magazine newsrooms at the School of Journalism. You will teach,
