Freelance Editor
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range and benefits.
Schedule: we have "flexible enough to work morning’s, nights and weekends at a moment’s notice." That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section.
Responsibilities: maybe we can list duties: putting compelling stories together, editing news and special features, etc.
Requirements: >3 years television news experience, working knowledge of NLE platforms (Grass Valley Edius plus), flexible schedule, etc.
Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can separate: Qualifications: 3 years television experience editing news and special features, sound journalistic judgment, eye for visual storytelling, deadline oriented, proficient non-linear editor, excellent communication skills, ability to work any shift.
Skills: maybe NLE platforms, storytelling, creativity, team player, passion for news.
We need to avoid duplication but preserve all info. Could combine some.
Let's decide sections:
- About the role: description of CBS duopoly, immediate opening, news editor for CBS 13 and independent 31, plus company description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: putting compelling stories together for viewers, editing news and special features (maybe that's more qualification). Could treat as duties: "Putting compelling stories together for viewers", "Editing news and special features". We'll list.
- Requirements: More than three years television news experience required; working knowledge of NLE platforms (Grass Valley Edius plus); flexibility to work mornings, nights, weekends at moment's notice; ability to work any shift.
- Qualifications: Sound journalistic judgment; eye for visual storytelling; deadline oriented; proficient non-linear editor; excellent communication skills; ability to work any shift (maybe duplicate). We'll keep.
- Skills: Storytelling, team player, creative, passion for news, NLE platforms (Grass Valley Edius plus) maybe.
- Benefits: list medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance, disability, tuition assistance, PTO.
- Pay: hiring salary range $18.0 - 25.0 (presumably per hour? but we keep as given). Note that starting pay depends on factors.
- Schedule: flexibility to work mornings, nights, weekends at moment's notice (maybe duplicate with requirements). Could just have schedule section referencing that.
We must not repeat content unnecessarily but preserve all. Might be okay to have some overlap but better to avoid duplication. Let's try to allocate each piece to one section.
Let's extract bullet points:
From text:
- "The CBS owned and operated duopoly in West Sacramento has an immediate opening for a news editor to work for CBS 13 and our independent 31." (About role)
- "Candidates should have a strong background in putting compelling stories together for our viewers." (Responsibility)
- "More than three years television news experience required." (Requirement)
- "(Please do not apply if you do not have a background in television news)." (Requirement, but we can note as same)
- "Candidates should have a working knowledge of NLE platforms (GRASS VALLEY EDIUS is a plus)." (Skill/Requirement)
- "Candidates should be flexible enough to work morning’s, nights and weekends at a moment’s notice." (Schedule)
- "We’re looking for storytellers and team players." (Skill/Qualification)
- "You must be very creative and have a passion for news." (Skill/Qualification)
- "No phone calls please." (Remove)
- "Qualifications: 3 Years television experience editing news and special features." (Qualification)
- "Sound journalistic judgment" (Qualification)
- "An eye for visual storytelling" (Qualification)
- "Deadline oriented" (Qualification)
- "Proficient non-linear editor." (Qualification/Skill)

- Then company description paragraph (About CBS) (About role)
- Salary range paragraph (Pay)
- Benefits paragraph (Benefits)
- EEO etc (remove)
- Contact email (minor metadata) maybe drop.
Thus we can create sections:
