PHOTO EDITOR

The Observer-Dispatch, a mid-size daily newspaper with a rapidly growing web site in central New York, seeks a creative, organized professional who can guide our small photo staff to produce eye-catching visuals that draw in readers and tell compelling stories. The O-D is a progressive, collaborative news operation that focuses on delivering engaging local content to our readers on various platforms. The Photo Editor will work with other senior editors to coordinate the best visual package for print and online each day, as well as shoot some assignments when needed.
 
The ideal candidate will be energetic, smart, curious and able to see the big picture. We need to not only tell readers what happened but also what it means to them and their community. Art is an important part of any story and we want the best. In this ever-changing media landscape, a sense of adventure and humor also help.
 
We are passionate about what we do here and are committed to both serving readers and helping our journalists develop new skills. Situated at the base of the foothills of the six million acre Adirondack Park, the Mohawk Valley is only a few hours drive from Syracuse, Albany, New York City and Boston. Utica is a lively city with a diverse population, many prominent colleges, great restaurants and lots of outdoor activities. An appreciation (or at least high tolerance) for snow and cold weather is a plus.

Please send a letter with salary requirements, resume and work samples to Kris Worrell, Editor, The Observer-Dispatch at kworrell@uticaod.com.
