O’Rourke Media Group is searching for a talented editor to lead the digital and print newsroom at the Gunnison Country Times, a trusted and award-winning community newspaper in Colorado. This role is not an administrative one, but rather a role for someone who can lead a newsroom and cover their own beats at the same time.
Our journalists are driven to find stories that matter to our community and are dedicated to fairness, accuracy and ethics. The successful candidate for this position is a strong leader and storyteller who understands both the nuances of rural mountain life and the broader forces shaping it. Gunnison is a place where national issues play out on a local scale — from water rights and public lands to housing, endangered species, and economic sustainability — and we’re looking for someone who can guide coverage that helps readers make sense of it all.
The ideal candidate has exceptional editing and management skills, values community journalism, understands how to grow our digital audience and knows how to produce a newspaper that reflects the lives, priorities and passions of the people who live here.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
• Develop and execute a plan to grow our digital audience;
• Post multiple stories a day to the Gunnison Country Times website;
• Oversee daily news operations, including story planning and editing for print and online;
• Manage and mentor a small but dedicated team of reporters and correspondents;
• Write news and feature stories on a regular basis (this role will include regular beats, including government meetings);
• Coordinate with designers and production staff to meet tight deadlines;
• Uphold high standards of accuracy, fairness and ethical reporting;
• Represent the Gunnison Country Times in the community, building relationships with readers, local leaders and organizations;
• Collaborate with O’Rourke Media Group’s broader editorial network to share ideas and support companywide initiatives.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS POSITION INCLUDE:
• Degree or diploma in journalism, communications or a related field;
• At least 3–5 years of newsroom experience, including prior editing or leadership responsibilities;
• Strong editing, writing and storytelling skills across both print and digital platforms;
• Familiarity with AP style, SEO best practices and social media engagement;
• Excellent organizational, communication and decisionmaking skills;
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and meet tight deadlines;
• A valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle;
• Willingness to live in or near Gunnison, Colorado. The range for compensation is $45,000 to $50,000, depending on qualifications.
O’Rourke Media Group is a family-owned publisher and agency, dedicated to revitalizing local media and connecting communities.
