Sightline’s just re-opened the search for a Sightline Daily editor. The full job posting is here.
Please send it to anyone you think would be interested and fits the bill—thanks!
In brief, we’re looking for an editor to manage this site’s news service and contribute to this blog as well. The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of professional editing and reporting experience (preferably with some online experience), solid news judgment, a thorough knowledge of Pacific Northwest issues, and a talent for turning policy issues into compelling prose. Being a self-described news junkie who likes working on deadline in the early morning hours is also a big plus.
Sightline offers a terrific, flexible working environment with a competitive salary and top-notch benefits package.
Sightline Daily, founded as Tidepool.org in 1997 and relaunched as Sightline Daily in 2008, provides a daily digest of the Northwest news that matters to thousands of influential citizens across Cascadia, covering topics from affordable housing to human health and from natural resource issues to green jobs

Ms. Murray,As a self-described news junkie myself, I’m intrigued by the position, because having worked on dailies in the past, I miss the thrill of working on tight deadlines and always coming through. What’s the biggest challenge associated with the position, because I’ve got a skill set that matches up pretty closely with the position and I’d like to know a little more before I make a final decision about applying myself.
