SFGATE North Coast Contributing Editor

Under the direction of SFGATE’s Deputy Managing Editor, the contributing editor (20 hours a week) will be a versatile journalist with a deep understanding of the North Coast region of California, but also more inland areas in the oft-forgotten far north of our state. Think Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties, but also Redding, Shasta County, and Lassen Volcanic National Park. The contributing editor will have the intellectual curiosity to want to tell stories that matter to both the people who live there and the people who visit, plus fully understand the issues and ideologies that dominate the region and affect everything from local drama to actual policy. They will be able to toggle between fast-paced daily stories and the well-sourced, deep-dive features that remind people why the far northern portion of California is such an important place to locals and Californians as a whole.
