Director, CivicLex Weekly
Full time, $50,000
A new position, the Director of The CivicLex Weekly will serve as the leadership for CivicLex’s flagship news and civic information product, The CivicLex Weekly.
This position is designed as a hybrid leadership and reporting role. Initially, the Director will cover Lexington’s local government and deeply learn CivicLex’s civic information model. Over the first year of the position, the Director will gradually assume leadership of CivicLex’s newsroom: setting editorial priorities, managing growth, and guiding long-term strategy. Eventually, the bulk of the reporting will be handed over to a City Hall Reporter role to be hired in 2026.
We’re looking for an ambitious and driven candidate who wants to help The CivicLex Weekly build on its role as a nationally-recognized model for civic information and guide its next phase of growth in Lexington.
This position opened on October 27, 2025 and applicants will be evaluated on an ongoing basis beginning on November 3. We hope to hire as soon as possible.
