Editor ad goes online
Multimedia Editor Seth Gitner "greets" interested applicants for the editor job that was posted today.
Shortly after Roanoke Times Editor Mike Riley
announced his plans to leave this month, Publisher and President Debbie Meade commissioned a small team to develop a new way of crafting an ad for his successor. The result is an interactive, multimedia-driven piece that uses video interviews of reporters and readers, along with past-work examples that we hope will entice the right leader for the newsroom.
Take a look, and if you think you fit the bill, please apply.

LisaHey, I want to be the new Mike Riley! Free home delivery? That was the clincher for me...
Oh, wait, I'm not qualified. Darn it.
Seriously, this is a fun, witty, novel way to appeal to candidates. Good luck with it. (And may the best woman win!)
