We’re looking for people who want to grow their skills, help and collaborate with others and be part of a community-focused team. Our journalists need to be ready to adapt to a modern, subscriber-based journalism model that recognizes digital consumption of news is our future.

Qualifications include:
- A degree in journalism or professional reporting experience.
Skills desired include:
- Photography, social media, an understanding of open records laws and the ability to get sources to speak freely, whether that’s a government official or a reluctant feature story subject.
- Most important is a can-do attitude and a desire to expand your wings
