Description
At The Dickinson Press , we believe great journalism starts with passionate people, strong community connections, and a newsroom culture that encourages creativity and growth. Since 1883, we've proudly delivered award-winning local journalism to Dickinson and the surrounding region, serving as a trusted source of news for generations.
Beyond the newsroom, Dickinson offers a lifestyle that's hard to beat. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Badlands, expansive prairie landscapes, and just a short drive from Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the area provides endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and outdoor adventure. It's a place where the charm of small-town living meets the beauty of the Great Plains - and where work-life balance comes naturally.
The Dickinson Press is seeking an Editor to lead an energetic, fast-paced newsroom and inspire a talented team of journalists. This role is ideal for a collaborative leader who thrives on mentoring others, shaping newsroom strategy, and driving impactful, community-centered storytelling. The Dickinson Press is part of Forum Communications Company, a fifth-generation family-owned media company with more than 20 publications across the Upper Midwest, collectively reaching more than five million readers each month.
Are you...
  • Passionate about local news and storytelling?
  • Energized by coaching, mentoring, and developing journalists?
  • Skilled at producing high-quality journalism across digital and print platforms?
Essential Functions
  • Direct, manage, and contribute to local newsgathering and editorial operations across all publishing platforms.
  • Establish and lead an agile, fast-moving news operation with workflows designed around timely digital publishing.
  • Strengthen audience engagement and reader loyalty by focusing on community interests and fostering meaningful public conversation and participation.
  • Develop newsroom capabilities and performance expectations around emerging digital tools and innovative content formats that help reach and grow audiences.
  • Expand and diversify editorial voices by cultivating relationships with local contributors, thought leaders, and strategic reporting partners within community, media, and academic organizations.
  • Lead as a hands-on player-coach, modeling strong journalism values, creativity, adaptability, and editorial excellence while coaching newsroom staff.
  • Foster a positive and healthy workplace culture built on open communication, accountability, respect, inclusion, and innovation.
  • Contribute actively to company growth initiatives through collaboration with cross-functional teams and shared organizational goals.
  • Prepare and administer newsroom budgets while ensuring resources are strategically allocated to support content priorities and operational needs.
  • Maintain strong communication and collaboration with FCC content teams and partner regularly on state and regional content initiatives.
  • Communicate story and visual plans effectively with production teams to ensure high-quality print products are delivered accurately and on deadline.
  • Partner with Human Resources on recruitment, interviewing, hiring, and promotional decisions for newsroom team members.
  • Serve as a visible ambassador for the organization by participating in community organizations, civic activities, and professional engagements.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, or a related field, with at least four years of newsroom experience.
  • Experience in a daily news environment and/or previous leadership or supervisory experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong editorial judgment and decision-making abilities.
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment while balancing multiple priorities.

Expected compensation for this role is between $60,000 and $65,000/year, based on qualifications and experience.
