We're restarting our search at Morris DigitalWorks for a director of audience growth. This is a senior management position with significant responsibility. It involves working with all levels of leadership at the 13 daily Morris Publishing Group newspapers from Florida to Alaska, and some travel is required.
We're part of the Newspaper Consortium working with Yahoo and other national partners, and part of this job involves making sure our newspapers effectively execute programs that come to us from those relationships. But we're also looking for someone who can think strategically and work effectively with others at Morris DigitalWorks to design and deliver audience-focused programs that are unique to us.
Morris Communications is a privately held media company with diversified holdings that include newspaper and magazine publishing, outdoor advertising, radio broadcasting, book publishing and distribution, visitor publications and online services. Newspapers are the foundation and core business of the company, which has been owned by the Morris family since 1945. Today the Georgia-based enterprise reaches across the nation, has holdings in Europe and Asia and employs 6,000 people.
