The role also includes digital oversight and editing support for several smaller sister titles in the region, helping to deliver consistent, high‑quality coverage across our portfolio of weekly titles, the Tivyside Advertiser, South Wales Guardian, Barry and District News and Penarth Times. This is a key role at the heart of our Haverfordwest newsroom, shaping how we report the stories that matter to our communities – from hard‑hitting local news and courts to breaking incidents, council decisions and strong human‑interest stories. You may be an experienced senior reporter or newsdesk regular ready to step up, or a proven newsroom leader looking for a fresh challenge in one of Wales’ most vibrant local patches. Either way, you will bring ideas, energy and a clear sense of what makes compelling digital journalism. This role requires occasional weekend work and is based at our Haverfordwest office, with the option for hybrid working up for discussion.

  • Build relationships with key contacts, organisations and readers, representing the brand in the community and online

Requirements

  • A strong track record in local or regional journalism, with experience in a digital‑first newsroom
  • Sharp news judgement and a clear understanding of what engages audiences in a competitive digital landscape
  • Confidence in using analytics tools to guide content planning and improve performance
  • Excellent writing, editing and headline‑writing skills, with a keen eye for accuracy and legal safety
  • Experience of, or clear potential for, leading a team – from setting expectations and giving feedback to supporting colleagues in busy breaking news moments
  • Familiarity with content management systems and social media platforms
  • An NCTJ qualification or equivalent, with media law knowledge
