Help us provide our professional audience with stories and information that help them be more successful.

Our ideal candidate:

• is adept at using social media as a way to interact with readers and uncover story/news leads;
• understands a “web first” publishing approach;
• knows how to build – and maintain – a news beat;

Does this sound like you? If so, send us five published clips (links or attached Word docs). For each clip, please provide information on how you found the story, how you handled the story from a “web first ” angle, and how you incorporated social media (such as finding sources for the story, alerting readers about the story when it published, etc.).

Using the subject line “DJC reporter position,” email your clips/clip links, the “background” information for each clip, and your resume to:apply-a2n5qet3w2hy@applicantstack.com
