Through our flagship international news service, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, we have
supported dozens of local newspapers for more than a century by providing national and
international news reporting. We are now expanding our mission through the launch of the Local
Media Growth Initiative (LMGI), an effort to help local Jewish media outlets strengthen their
journalism, expand digital reach, and build sustainable business models that serve and connect
their communities. This initiative will support a high-priority cohort of 5-8 local Jewish
publications and lay the groundwork for an ongoing national–local partnership model.

You will manage all LMGI program activities, including organizing professional development offerings and the development and rollout of new editorial, audience development and revenue-sharing products. You will also oversee an audience associate as part of an LMGI pilot program, providing direct operational support to 3-4 participating
publications. You will also track outcomes, gather insights, and work with organizational leadership
to build a long-term plan for sustaining this work beyond the initial pilot period.

The other key part of your job will be implementing an enhanced online fundraising strategy for our
own news properties, and leveraging that work to support the fundraising work of the LMGI.
