IDAHO FALLS — East Idaho News is growing and we’re looking for an amazing editor to join our team.
This is not a video editor position; rather, someone who will be reading, editing and posting news stories on our website.
EastIdahoNews.com is the #1 news website in eastern Idaho. Since we launched in 2015, millions of users around the world have viewed our website over 800 million times.
We are locally owned and based in Idaho Falls with a dedicated team of journalists working to bring the best news coverage to our audience. We have over 187,000 followers on Facebook and more than 514,000 YouTube subscribers.
We don’t want to brag, but we’ve received dozens of journalism awards – including a national Edward R. Murrow award. Our reporters’ work is featured on other websites and television programs all the time.
Now, here’s what we want from you. We’re seeking an innovative editor with strong news judgment and excellent writing, reporting, leadership, and communication skills. You will work from home on weekends and the other three days will be spent in our Idaho Falls newsroom editing stories, posting breaking news, working with reporters and focusing on other assignments.
We move fast at EastIdahoNews.com, so you’ll need to be able to juggle multiple editing assignments while mentoring other reporters. On weekends, you’ll work independently, updating the website, posting breaking news, and looking for engaging content to share with our audience.
It helps if you know WordPress, Adobe Suite programs, and basic video editing. You need to be active on social media and fun to work with.
