It’s not all that often that we have a job opening around here, but we’re currently hiring for a new position here at the the Weekly: Online editor.

So, here’s most of what the gig entails:

• Creating and managing content for our website, including The Range (this is harder than it seems, believe me…writing six posts a day or so)
• Work with writers, editors, photographers and designers to develop Web-exclusive content
• All the social media stuff, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and whatever else pops up
• Developing new features and such, including evaluating vendors, determining new forms of revenue
• Tracking analytics, metrics, developing plans to get more people to look at our website and for longer
• Apps or whatever
• The other stuff that seems to come up each week
• Being awesome and brilliant and whatever

Consideration will go only to those who have writing and reporting experience in addition to the necessary technical skills. (We’re serious about this. It’s a fun job, but you need to know what you’re doing.) The ideal candidate will have a wide variety of experience doing Web development; have a knowledge of basic HTML; be familiar with various website and social-networking platforms; and be ready for the Tucson Weekly work environment. It’s a complicated job with a lot of moving parts, so if you’re the sort of person who likes to focus on one task at a time, uninterrupted, you will be unhappy and we will be unhappy.

This is a full-time position, with benefits. Please send a cover letter, a resume and links to work samples to mailbag@tucsonweekly.com NO LATER THAN 3 P.M., TUESDAY, AUG. 6 (we’re in a hurry). Thanks!

The editor of the Tucson Weekly. I have no idea how I got here.

  1. Are you catering to Circle K’s wishes now? This weeks edition was lackluster in content and watered down at best, where’s Mendez and the desire to stock those controversial, odd, and interesting articles that keep us coming back for more?

  2. Your Readers: I have no idea what you mean, but if you have some sort of actually helpful suggestion, I’m always happy to hear it.
