  • Effectively shoot and edit photos and videos
  • Post stories to social media platforms and websites
  • Generate story ideas to entertain and engage our audience
  • Identify, cultivate and develop sources within the community and region
  • Knowledge of AP style is a plus

One quality we insist upon:

  • Report accurate and informative stories

Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications are highly prized and recent graduates with some experience are still highly prized.

The Herald & Tribune is a Six Rivers Media, LLC property. SRM is a family-owned business and is also locally managed here in the Appalachian Highlands region. Other properties in the region include two weekly publications and two daily pubs.

Interested candidates should email their cover letter, resume and writing samples to Group Publisher and COO Ron Waite at rwaite@sixriversmedia.com
