I received some more specifics on the editor jobs/jobs. Still kinda vague.

A lot of these answers await firming up of our plans. I’ll do the best I can:
1. Ag publication is twice monthly. At this juncture, we’d like to maintain that frequency. It is called Empire Farmer; the weekly is the Jefferson County Journal. Don’t bother looking for their websites – there are none. Here is a link to our story on this: http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20140801/NEWS03/140809935
2. We have no clear picture of staffing. But I think you can presume that there will be no “specialty” reporters assigned to either publication. Likewise, we have not firmed up production needs but we have a central production facility in Watertown and our other weekly papers receive assistance in page creation. Empire Farmer will likely be entirely done through our production crew, but the editor will be expected to direct traffic.
3. Page count of current publications is not really relevant. We intend to see what each publication can support.
4. I cannot predict salary. It will depend on how the position is structured, what the work load will be and what the successful candidate’s experience is. The company offers paid vacation and sick leave, a 401-k retirement plan, health and dental insurance, a life insurance policy. We are an equal opportunity employer.
5. There is no company policy on relocation compensation. Other management candidates have brought the issue up as a negotiations item.
6. There will be a separate advertising staff. We do not yet know what title the person who directs this operation will have; it will be commensurate with the responsibilities.
Hope this helps.
