Copy editor, Longview, Washington (Lee Enterprises)

The Daily News of Longview, WA, has an opening for a detail-oriented copy editor / page designer who thrives on stellar design, attention-grabbing headlines and strong editing. The successful applicant should be a perfectionist, someone who would be happy to place his or her signature on every page they compose.

While we expect to fill this position with someone with experience on the copy desk at a daily newspaper, college graduates without such experience but with advanced skills are welcome to apply. While The Daily News uses InDesign; qualified applicants can have experience with other page-making software.

Successful candidates should be at home with section front design as The Daily News produces at least three local front pages per edition. Experience with sports page copy and design will be a plus. Finalists will be tested on their abilities as copy editors.

To be considered, please first fill out the online application at http://www.lee.net/careers. In addition, please send design samples to News Editor Evan Caldwell, c/o The Daily News, P.O. Box 189, Longview, WA 98632 or to evan.caldwell@tdn.com. Send samples that show you at your best and most creative.

The 20,000 circulation Daily News provides competitive compensation and an excellent benefits package.
