Description and Details

The Jewish Star is a 22-year-old independent newspaper and website committed to high professional standards, serving diverse Modern Orthodox communities in Metropolitan New York (Long Island, Queens, Riverdale, Westchester, and Manhattan’s Upper West Side and Upper East Side).

Our new editor will be responsible for expanding local news coverage, recruiting and managing staff and freelance contributors, and editing and enhancing material from The Star’s wire services — all while maintaining the highest Jewish and journalistic standards as reflected in our motto: "Honest Reporting and Torah-True, Kosher and Fat-Free."

Our current editor plans to retire this summer and we would like to star his successor as soon as feasible.

With offices in both Riverdale NY and Garden City LI, The Jewish Star is an independent newspaper and website affiliated with Richner Communications Inc, a 100-employee family-owned company that is a leader in digital marketing and in-person events. Richner publishes the Pulitzer Prize-winning Riverdale Press and dozens of other community newspapers, websites and shopping guides and maintains its own printing operation.

Candidates should have news reporting and editing experience, an understanding of what interests Modern Orthodox Jewish communities, and a drive to excel in a professional, collegial environment.
