• Must have the desire and ability to daily cultivate sources in the community, enterprise lead stories, and dig beyond the surface.
• Must also collaborate well with others in the newsroom.

• Must work well under pressure and be able to maintain attention to detail and accuracy under strict daily deadlines.
• Must have and include a link to your multimedia journalist work.
