Lima News in Ohio seeks business reporter

Are you a multi-media journalist who is full of ideas and enjoys digging up your own stories instead of waiting for an editor to send you off to a local motorcycle safety press conference?  Do you dare try something new and different?

We offer a great staff and a competitive salary and benefits package. We are a mid-size newspaper (21,000-daily, 23,500-Sunday) with an excellent reputation for solid journalism, winning AP General Excellence awards eight out of the last 10 years.

Candidate should have one to two years experience, but we will consider new college graduates who had strong internships.
