Job opportunity

The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle is looking for a copy chief:

I have moved into the news editor's position, so I'm looking for a strong candidate to fill my former job as copy desk chief. This person would report to me and be responsible for the morale and management of a 19-person universal copy desk team. Some newsroom management experience and a demonstrated proficiency at critical thinking are required. In addition, the successful applicant must be well-versed in style, grammar and word editing, be able to write catchy headlines and cutlines -- and teach those skills to others -- and be willing to take a lead role in the newsroom in maintaining our accuracy and credibility. The copy chief is also responsible for maintaining our in-house stylebook. If you think you have the know-how to do it right yet be a good boss, too, contact Dick Moss, 55 Exchange Blvd, Rochester, NY 14614, (585) 258-2626 or respond via e-mail (rlmoss@democratandchronicle.com).
