  • Other duties as assigned

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism or relevant field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience

  • Energetic self-starter and critical thinker
  • A watchdog mentality seeking to advocate for our community’s most vulnerable members and hold the powerful accountable

  • Ability to work collaboratively and efficiently with a team of journalists
  • This position requires a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and minimum liability insurance required by state law
