Job Description

The position of Executive Editor is one that requires passion, dedication and a full understanding of modern print journalism. The Executive Editor should be an individual with interest, talent, skill and experience with the field of journalism.

The Executive Editor is responsible for ensuring stories are posted to the website in a timely manner and digital issues are published within the previously discussed schedule. A digital issue of The Nevada Sagebrush is produced at the end of the month (however, that is subject to change based on the selection of the editor) and the managing of digital stories posted, and is therefore responsible for everything that comes along with that. From an editorial perspective, the Editor is charged with ensuring the historical standards of The Sagebrush are upheld each and every week. This involves being a final copy editor for most, if not all, pieces that run both in print and online and reviewing and approving every page, photo and article before it heads to print. The Editor has the final say on what does and does not go to print and as such, is responsible for every piece of content published by or in The Sagebrush.

Because of this, the Editor must be generally familiar with media law, especially as it pertains to FOIA, potentially libelous statements, photo attribution and copyright laws. The latter three, if handled incorrectly, can engender lawsuits and it is up to the Editor to ensure that does not happen.

Ultimately, the Editor must be hard-working, dedicated and passionate about journalism and about The Nevada Sagebrush. This award-winning newspaper is one of the oldest student-run newspapers in the Western U.S. and that legacy is upheld first and foremost by its Executive Editor.

Hiring Process:
The position of Executive Editor is elected by the voting members of the Student Media Advisory Board. This includes representatives from each student media, which includes the current Executive Editors/General Managers of the Sagebrush, Brushfire Literature and Arts Journal, Wolf Pack Radio and Insight Magazine, INCLUDING staff members from each student media organization, ASUN senator for journalism and one student at large not associated with student media (attendance of members is subject to change). Each candidate must present a 10-minute presentation in front of the SMAB and be subjected to 10 minutes of questioning from board members. Candidates are selected via majority vote by the board.

Responsibilities

• Smooth production of newspapers every week, meeting all deadlines
• Copy edit all the articles before final print
• Writing or assisting in writing staff editorials or other editorial content as needed
• Hiring and Managing member of The Sagebrush Staff
• Managing budget and coordinating with the printing company
• Run weekly editorial and budget meetings and attend required Student Media Advisory Board (SMAB) meetings
• May also include meetings with other publications and administrations
• Other duties as called upon by the position of the respective student media
• Meet with the Sagebrush Advisor regularly
• Work collectively with team to develop transition documents for all positions in the Nevada Sagebrush

Required Qualifications

• Candidate must be enrolled at the University of Nevada, Reno
• Candidate must be experienced with the Abode Creative Cloud, esp. InDesign
• Candidate must be familiar with The Nevada Sagebrush as a product, as well as what kind of content is generally produced by or published in The Sagebrush

Preferred Qualifications

• Candidate has effective leadership and communication skills
• Candidate has strong writing skills and works well under deadline pressure
• Candidate has experience with newspaper writing or print journalism
• Candidate is familiar with basic media law concepts, especially libel and copyright law
• Candidate has experience with WordPress websites
