The Pulitzer-Prize winning Point Reyes Light needs a Managing Editor
who is excessively capable of leading the editorial department on a
day-to-day basis. But most importantly, the Managing Editor should
have a brain whose synaptic firing could power a favela slum, and
whose creative generation is perpetual and fun.

I want an Managing Editor who will approach his job like the editor
of the New York Times Week in Review section, or the front of the
book of Harper’s or the Atlantic. I am seeking a Mandarin who could
edit the Economist and write Talk of the Town pieces on the side.

In addition to creatively managing, the applicant should also be able
to report and write opinion pieces.

I need someone brilliant and fun who can start right away.

A reporting position is being offered at the Pulitzer Prize-winning
Point Reyes Light, located in Marin County, CA., north of San
Francisco. The newspaper is looking for a literary journalist who
plans on becoming the next Orwell, Kapuscinski or Didion.

The Light has an institutional reputation that far exceeds its size.
It is a mighty-mite of a paper. This year, the newspaper was
purchased by Columbia Journalism School graduate Robert Plotkin, who
is now serving as editor and publisher. You will be allowed to
produce your best work. It will not be degraded out of concern for
advertisers or illiterates. Exemplary stories and photographs will be
submitted for the full panoply of awards. You will be encouraged to
win the Light another Pulitzer.

Applicants should be experienced newspaper or magazine writers. A
graduate degree in journalism from Columbia, NYU, Medill, Berkeley or
Missouri will be favorably considered. Please send an email a cover
letter and ten clips.
