The ideal editor will have the story-identifying and story-writing skills of a great writer or editor; the reader-engagement skills of a strong social media editor; the statistical knowledge of an analytics expert; and the coaching skills of a great leader.
This editor will ensure that The Bee’s journalists produce unique, audience-focused coverage consistent with McClatchy’s longstanding mission of independent, essential local news that serves the public. This team’s coverage focuses on Latino communities, Education, Engagement and Madera County and seeks experimentation, innovation and new ways to reach audiences.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable juggling and shifting priorities throughout the day. This is a hands-on position with editing and coaching responsibilities. The editor in this position should be eager to collaborate with colleagues throughout the newsroom and in McClatchy’s other newsrooms across California’s Central Valley.
This editor will be expected to utilize digital analytics to the newsroom’s benefit while understanding some key nuances. You should be comfortable analyzing story performance, identifying audiences and how we reach them, and collaborating with other teams to distribute that content to multiple platforms.
The anticipated base pay range for this position is between $75,000 and $85,000 annually. Individual base pay may vary within that range depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and relevant education.
