The Vail Daily, located in the heart of the Colorado High Country, is seeking a versatile reporter who can juggle daily news coverage with longer-term investigative projects. This reporter will cover local government and chase stories of impact on topics ranging from housing, local business, outdoor recreation, climate change and health. We are looking for someone with one to two years of experience working in a daily journalism environment.
As a reporter in our newsroom, you’ll be focused on daily coverage, enterprise stories and longer-term investigative reporting.

You’ve got to be a planner who knows how to strategize and execute, and you also need to be able to pivot quickly when news happens. This job is all about details — plotting coverage, hitting deadlines, doing your homework, crafting stories that avoid the jargon of government reporting, and driving digital engagement.
