Our newsroom is robust and diverse and you’ll be surrounded by busy, productive colleagues who care about doing great journalism every day, not just when the spirit moves them. You’ll also be a key liaison to the community, one that thinks of the newspaper not only as a media outlet, but often as a community treasure.

Enterprise and self-sufficiency are critical to this position. We’re looking for someone who can produce great business stories with a minimum of supervision and loves the freedom to innovate.
