You can live anywhere in the state of Texas, and need a strong passion in journalism that resonates with diverse audiences.

  • Simultaneously manage multiple assignments, self-edit and capture photos and videos in addition to writing clean and interesting copy
  • Contribute to podcasts and videos

For this position, we are looking for an experienced Reporter:

  • Who can work with speed, creativity, accuracy and good judgment
  • Really want to be first to report something
  • Engage on social media platforms regularly and follow trends
  • Are news junkies with a pulse on the big stories happening at any given time
  • Have humility, relentless curiosity and bring passion to your reporting
  • Have skills in digital storytelling via text, photo and video

Our ideal candidates will have the following:

  • Degree in journalism or communications or combination of education and related work experience with a proven ability in journalism reporting and writing
  • Spanish language skills
  • Five or more years’ experience building, maintaining and engaging an active audience
  • Ability to work independently under deadline pressure and prioritize tasks appropriately
