Summit Daily News seeks a reporter

The Summit Daily News, located in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, seeks a reporter to cover the arts and entertainment and government beats in addition to business reporting.

We are looking for someone who likes to work hard and play hard — a mature, ambitious reporter who can write about the the things locals and visitors want to know about: new businesses, events, big-name concerts while also asking top community leaders tough questions to act as a watchdog for two towns in Summit County (Breckenridge Town Council and Silverthorne Town Council).

• Generate seven stories per week.

• Ensure accuracy, fairness and correct spelling in all reporting.
• Follow direction and vision of the Summit Daily News editor.
• Make assigned deadlines without exception.
• Be a team player and fill in for reporting vacancies as needed.
• Be ethical within the guidelines set by the editor.

Qualifications:

• Journalism, English or communications degree required but can be waived with daily newsroom experience.
• One year of newsroom experience preferred.
• Must be available to work some nights and weekends.

Salary: Pay $22-$24/hour depending on experience.
