Newsday to Hire 37, Increasing Total Pages by 2,600 Per Year
The Long Island paper Newsday will hire 37, including 34 journalists, according to an internal memo obtained by MediaJobsDaily.
In the memo, Newsday editor-in-chief Debby Krenek explains that the paper will seek to grow its hyper-local coverage of Long Island towns, by adding more beat reporters while also increasing the number of pages focused on local news and opinion by 2,600 for the year.
It’s a sign that the paper will focus on smaller neighborhoods, targeting specific towns while launching “hundreds of hyper-local pages later this month,” wrote Krenek.
With other hyper-local sites like AOL Patch starting to creep into Newsday‘s neighborhood, it’s not a surprise to see the local paper expand.
