New job in the Salzland district: Head of digital topic management wanted!

In an exciting development in local journalism, the Bauer Media Group is increasingly looking for fresh ideas and an open-minded team to lead a team of reporters in the Salzlandkreis, Saxony-Anhalt. The advertised position is intended to ensure that local reporting is both digitally successful and rooted in the broader population. As kress.de reports, the main task includes planning and controlling relevant topics for the local edition.

Innovative ideas are particularly required here. The new management will be responsible for creating a locally balanced mix of topics in order to appeal to all citizens in the Salzland district. The transfer of knowledge within the reporting team is particularly important - an aspect that not only promotes creative exchange, but also increases the quality of the reporting.

Requirements for applicants

Those interested should have relevant training in media or communication and have completed a traineeship. Professional experience as an editor, ideally in a management position, is also an advantage. A confident demeanor and high communication skills complete the requirements profile. Particularly outstanding is the need to find and plan topics that are highly popular with readers. A driving license for a car is also required in order to be able to use mobile vehicles.

But what makes a good local journalist? bpb.de discusses the challenges and opportunities in local journalism in a dossier. Journalists must examine political processes critically but fairly and at the same time question themselves. They are often the link that makes local events understandable to the community and meets their information needs. In a time of change in the media landscape, the role of local media is becoming increasingly important.

The value of local journalism

Good local reporting not only helps inform the population, but also creates a lasting connection between readers and their surroundings. Local journalism is therefore not just a “niche product”, but essential for public life. As already mentioned, a firm position in journalism can mean that critical topics also find their place, which is of immense importance, especially in a globalized world.

With this call for proposals, the Bauer Media Group has the unique opportunity to bring fresh impulses to local journalism and thus make an important contribution to the communications landscape in the Salzland district. So anyone who feels addressed and has the appropriate qualifications should not miss this opportunity.
