The Embarcadero Media Foundation, the premiere news nonprofit in the Bay Area's Tri-Valley, has an immediate opening for the day-to-day editor of our East Bay Division, which includes LivermoreVine.com, DanvilleSanRamon.com and the 2025 CNPA General Excellence First-Place award winner Pleasanton Weekly.

The editor will also be a face for the news brands in the community and is expected to attend community events and represent the organization when necessary. We offer a hybrid workplace, but the East Bay Division Editor can work regularly out of our convenient Pleasanton office if preferred.
