Job Description: Universal Desk Chief needed in Americas Paradise. The Virgin Islands Daily News, a Pulitzer Prize-winning daily newspaper, seeks a veteran editor to run our 10-person editing and design desk. This is a job for a perfectionist with Quark expertise, well-honed news judgment and a proven record as an effective manager. This is not a job for beginners or intermediate-level editors, no matter how enthusiastic or confident you are. It requires a minimum of five years of daily newspaper experience that combines newsroom management, slot editing and designing. This position supervises experienced editors who expect to be led by someone with superior experience and skills. The beaches, the islands and the weather here are beautiful, but if you’re looking for a job in a laid-back, low-key Jimmy Buffett fantasy, this is not for you. The work pace is hard and fast, the staff is smart and sharp and the news is never dull or slow. Send your resume and a cover letter to Deputy Executive Editor Jason Robbins via e-mail to jrobbins@dailynews.vi or by priority mail to 9155 Estate Thomas, St. Thomas, VI 00802.
