Award-winning weekly seeks managing editor
The Ark, a nationally award-winning community weekly just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, is seeking an experienced print journalist to run our newsroom day to day. You’ll set assignments and the weekly budget, manage our two-reporter team plus freelancers, run the editorial meeting and own the editorial calendar and our three special sections, sharing the editing with the executive editor. The Ark is owned by its publisher and its executive editor.
You'll work with reporters to guide and develop stories, and you'll choose your own enterprise reporting. The job carries no routine beat, but everyone here writes — briefs, breaking news and whatever the week demands, alongside your own work. Our print-first paper is committed to the romantic vision of the journalism you went to school for, and that getting it right is better than getting it first.
You should have at least five years at print newspapers, preferably including experience as an editor and in covering government boards and meetings. You're an ace copy editor whose bible is the AP Stylebook, and your own copy files clean. Familiarity with the California Public Records Act and the Brown Act is an advantage. Management experience is welcome, and we’ll also consider a senior reporter ready to step up. The job requires occasional evening and rare weekend work. This is a hybrid role, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays in our downtown Tiburon office. Mondays are remote production days.
- Salary is $75,000 annually, exempt.
- Fully paid Kaiser Permanente medical and vision and Humana dental.
- Fidelity SIMPLE IRA with 3% company match.
- Two weeks accruable paid vacation days per year.
- ~16-day PTO winter-holiday office closure, pre-Christmas to post-New Year’s Day, aligning with school district.
- Nine additional paid holidays per year.
- Nine accruable sick days per year.
Candidates should reside within 30 minutes of our office or be willing to relocate; we cannot pay relocation expenses. Send a resume, cover letter and clips to [email protected]. At least one clip should be something you edited, and at least one should include coverage of a board meeting and vote. We are an extremely small operation that’s now short-staffed so, if we are interested, we’ll contact you as soon as possible. Please do not call.
The Ark — named the nation’s best small community newspaper for 2026 by the National Newspaper Association and a second-place general-excellence finisher in this year’s California Journalism Awards, first among print newspapers in its division — is an independent, locally owned weekly serving the San Francisco Bay Area’s Southern Marin communities of Tiburon, Belvedere and Strawberry.
