Texas' largest newspaper, reinventing print-first journalism for digital and social audiences
The Dallas Morning News is a 139-year-old regional newspaper operator scaling digital-first initiatives—launching newsletters on LinkedIn, revamping sections like Business Sunday, and layering AI tools (ChatGPT, OpenAI) into editorial workflows. The hiring mix (journalism-heavy, with data and ops roles growing) and active project list signal a shift from print-dominated operations toward multimedia storytelling and audience expansion, though tight deadline pressure and sales pipeline friction remain endemic.
The Dallas Morning News, established in 1885 and based in Dallas, TX, is the flagship newspaper of DallasNews Corporation and the largest paper in Texas. The organization operates across journalism, design, photography, and multimedia production—supported by a 1,001–5,000-person workforce. Revenue sources include print advertising, digital subscriptions, and marketing services. The company has won nine Pulitzer Prizes since 1986, anchoring its editorial reputation within a competitive regional and national news landscape.
Editorial and production tools include ChatGPT, Python, R, Adobe Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Datawrapper, ArcGIS, WordPress, and Git/GitHub. Distribution spans X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. Business/ops tools include Gong, Mavenlink, and Asana.
23 active roles across journalism (6), media (5), sales (3), business/marketing (4), news (2), data (1), and ops (1). Seniority mix: mid-level (8), senior (7), junior (6), VP (1). All positions posted in the United States.
Active initiatives include Business Sunday section redesign, Commerce Street and LinkedIn newsletters, expanded high school football coverage with Statbeat, weather coverage refresh, and pop-up newsroom events to deepen community engagement.
