General Assignment Reporter

Are you seeking a journalism career covering a wide variety of stories? Every day is different. The North Platte Telegraph is seeking a reporter to cover public safety (police, courts, breaking news), small business news and community events. This is true local journalism where one can make an impact by providing the information that a community relies upon.

Responsibilities include writing, taking photos for the paper, posting content online and on social media to engage and grow our digital subscriber base. Candidates must be comfortable with and able to utilize digital media in addition to print.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, curious self-starter who enjoys covering community news, and also wants to become an engaged member of the community. If you are able to write clearly, develop sources and take the initiative to find stories, this may be the role for you.

The successful candidate will be proficient in reporting and writing, AP style, photography, videography and digital platforms. Preference will be given to candidates with a journalism degree, although internships and experience will be considered. New graduates and experienced journalists are welcome to apply. This position will work some night and weekend hours. A valid driver's license and current vehicle insurance are required.
