Seaford Herald Citizen

Editor - The Jewish Star

The Jewish Star is seeking an editor to lead a growing team of staff reporters, correspondents and photographers as the newspaper and its website greatly expand their coverage.

The Star is a leader in Jewish journalism, respected for its professionalism in the growing (and print-hungry) Modern Orthodox communities on Long Island and in New York City. Unlike most news media entities whose readers have largely abandoned print, The Star's Modern Orthodox orientation produces loyal readers every Shabbat.

As editor, you will seek out and initiate story ideas, write and assign articles, edit staff and freelance submissions, and work with the Publisher on the layout of print and digital editions. You should have an understanding of Torah Judaism and issues of interest to local Orthodox communities.

The Jewish Star staff operates autonomously within Richner Communications, a 150-employee family-owned company that publishes more than 30 community newspapers and shopping guides. We offer a friendly, kosher environment in state-of-the-art offices in Garden City, salary, paid time off, health plan and 401(k).
