A great place to work
Whether you're just starting out or looking for a place to step up, our company is a great place to work and build a career.
What we do here is both exciting and important. We're, by far, the main source of news, information and advertising in the region, and every day we make a vital difference in the lives of our readers and online audiences.
We’re focused and action-oriented. We’re aggressive and innovative. We offer excellent employee benefits, reward achievement and provide opportunities for advancement both locally and all across our company. We strive to hire the most talented, dedicated employees, creating a workforce that reflects the diversity of our local readers and the communities we serve.
Within our parent company, Lee Enterprises, you’ll find coast-to-coast career opportunities at 53 outstanding daily newspapers, many small to midsize, where beginning professionals get to do more, be more and make an immediate difference.
Lee’s operations are located in attractive communities, many in spectacular settings, and our employee benefits are among the best anywhere.
Employee benefits
We offer some of the best benefit programs in our industry. We recognize that employees have varying needs, so we have developed a program with options to allow our employees to choose what is right for them.
We offer a variety of options for medical, dental, vision and life insurance. We offer one of the best retirement account plans in our industry with a range of investment options. We also offer healthcare and dependent care flexible spending accounts, vacation, time off, and company-paid short-term and long-term disability benefits.
Employee development and achievement
As part of Lee Enterprises, one of our top priorities is to “Nurture employee development and achievement.” We seek to help employees develop essential skills in our many functional areas, including journalism, sales, circulation and finance. We also seek to prepare our employees for success through training in leadership, our business, teamwork, respect, diversity and safety.
More than that, we believe that learning isn’t trapped in binders in the classroom. Although we do offer quality structured classroom and online training, we emphasize internal cross-training, outside exposure and developmental assignments. Some learning opportunities are presented by the corporate staff. Other opportunities are developed and delivered locally. Many locations offer partial tuition reimbursement for completing a degree program.
Every employee has the opportunity be proactive in improving personal performance and to apply for open positions. Managers meet regularly with employees to create and review individual performance plans, share feedback, coach and review progress toward career development.
