Design only 15 minutes from the beach

[Derek Kuhn]

WHO WE ARE:

The Facts, a 15,000-circulation daily newspaper on the Texas Gulf Coast, has a reputation for excellence in what it produces and the people it puts on the path to success. We're the two-time reigning newspaper of the year in the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors contest, plus have walls full of honors for reporting, writing, headlines and design.

WHO WE WANT:

We are looking for a wordsmith who has an eye for design to join our desk team. The right candidate will understand that inviting design, clean editing and strong headlines are equally important in attracting readers. They will be receptive to learning but also willing to interject their ideas and vision into the conversation to make the newspaper better. We also produce multiple glossy magazines that will provide another opportunity for growth. This position came about because of promotions, and there definitely is room here and elsewhere in our Southern Newspapers family to shine and become our next great newsroom leader.

PERKS OF WORKING AT THE FACTS:

We offer all the usual perks, including a friendly vacation policy, full benefits and flexible scheduling, though working nights and weekends are part of the deal. We are less than an hour south of Houston, the soon-to-be third-largest city in America (sorry, Chicago); home to great beaches, fishing, hiking and other outdoor activities; are part of a thriving industrial economy that is investing more than $25 billion in the region; and our population and local amenities are experiencing explosive growth.

HOW TO APPLY:

This is a good spot for a recent graduate or someone from a smaller daily or non-daily looking to grow and learn. Apply to Assistant Managing Editor Derek Kuhn at [e-mail] with your six best clips to be considered for this career-building opportunity.
