About the role

Publisher – Piedmont Journalism Foundation This job listing appears to have expired and may be removed soon. Piedmont Journalism Foundation (PJF), the nonprofit owner of two prize-winning newspapers, is seeking an experienced, ambitious leader committed to the importance of local journalism as the bedrock of engaged citizens and sound local governance to be its new publisher. Fauquier Timesand Prince William Times publish daily online and weekly in print. The publisher is the face of the papers in both communities and responsible for all operations including financial performance, strategic planning, building community support and membership, expanding digital presence, advertising, marketing, fundraising, and oversight of the newsroom. Fauquier is a largely rural county of 70,000 with a rich history and some of the country's most beautiful, conserved landscape. Fauquier Times has been its principal newspaper for decades. Its office and newsroom is located in Warrenton, Va, the scenic county seat. Prince William County, on Fauquier's eastern border, is Virginia's second-largest country, and the 10 th most diverse county in the nation. Both counties are close to Washington D.C. and home to many of the nation's leaders in business, government, journalism and the military. Both are also at the epicenter of the world's largest concentration of data centers and are playing a leading role in the local and statewide debate over the pace and extent of their construction (see www.thenewenergycrisis.com ). Salary begins at $125,000 depending on experience. Benefits are good. Interested candidates should send a letter of interest and resume to Staff Administrator Aimee O'Grady (aimeedo@gmail.com ).

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
