Production Editor - DAY SHIFT

The Villages Daily Sun, Florida’s largest daily printed newspaper (and the only newspaper in America's largest 25 that is still growing), is seeking a copy editor with layout capabilities to help put together our award-winning product. We're looking for an editor with strong command of AP style, news judgement and attention to detail to help keep our quality standards at a high level. The right candidate would be comfortable working with both local and wire copy in all sections as well as collaborating with editors and reporters across the newsroom in this multifaceted role. The ideal candidate would have some proficiency in Adobe InDesign to help lay out pages or make small design tweaks if needed. We offer a generous newshole, impeccable print quality, modern tech resources (fully Mac and Creative Suite shop) and leadership support that enable good journalists to become truly great. We're a print-centric market with a brand new printing plant, the first to be built in America in the last decade. This means we still enjoy late publication deadlines and emphasize a focus on strong visual storytelling without a digital distraction, allowing journalists to experience the joy of creative collaboration in the newsroom instead of the vacuum of remote workflow. We’re a 90-mile drive to the beach, Orlando’s theme parks and the historic neighborhoods of Gainesville and St. Augustine. We offer competitive pay, excellent benefits and access to a highly regarded charter school system in one of the state’s most idyllic settings.
