• Ability to leverage relationships with sources to deliver content that differentiates the organization from competitors
• Ability to pitch in on any beat, boosting the capabilities of a small newsroom
• Multimedia skills, including video, photos, broadcast, on-camera, are helpful

• 1-3 years reporting in a newsroom
• Track record in the news business of building, maintaining and engaging an audience in print and online.
