Lee Enterprises

Do you have a strong news sense? Do you like the rush of covering breaking news? Are you curious about everything, and not afraid to chase a story and ask tough questions? If so, the Missoulian is looking for a breaking news/general assignment reporter who’s eager, sharp and ready to jump in.
 
What does the job entail?
 
This role is ideal for a journalist who thrives on fast-moving news but also loves digging into the everyday stories that define a community. When news breaks, you’ll be the first person on scene, ready to provide readers with need-to-know details and follow through afterward with any developments. You’ll also tackle a mix of general assignments and enterprise reporting for Missoula and the surrounding region, including the Bitterroot Valley, where our sister paper is based.
 
No two days will look exactly the same. You might be chasing breaking news, filing quick and clean updates, or turning a developing situation into a well-reported story that provides readers with depth, context and impact. Coverage will span a wide range of topics, including public safety, courts, education, business, arts, and health care. While the Missoulian has dedicated beat reporters, there’s always more news than can fit neatly into beats. Assignments are driven by where the biggest coverage needs are on a given day or week. You’ll work closely with editors, photographers, and fellow reporters, balancing speed with accuracy and always keeping strong journalism at the center of the work.
 
We are a digital-forward newsroom. While prior experience with SEO, web headline writing, analytics, or video is not required, a curiosity and willingness to learn are essential. The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, eager to take initiative, and collaborative by nature — someone who contributes positively to a team-oriented newsroom that relies on trust, communication, and shared responsibility to cover the news well.
 
Why Missoula?
 
Missoula offers a rare mix of natural beauty, creative energy, and small-city buzz that’s hard to beat. Mountains and trailheads surround the area and a river quite literally runs through the downtown corridor. Missoula is a place where you can cover a news event in the afternoon and be hiking, skiing, floating the Clark Fork, or trail running before dinner.
 Beyond the scenery, you'll get to help cover Missoula's thriving dining and arts scene that consistently punches above its weight. From independent coffee shops and local breweries to chef-driven restaurants, live music, theater, film, and a strong literary community, there’s always something happening. The city is home to a major university, an engaged public, and a strong sense of place and community.

Breaking News/General Assignment Reporter-Missoula, MT

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is looking for a hard-charging business reporter to cover hospitals, healthcare and emerging industries in our region. We want a reporter who is adept at quickly filing a breaking news story but is also able to spot the big picture and trends.
 
The beat will focus on three hospital systems, collectively the largest employers in the region. But you'll also tap into industries and businesses that local leaders are working to develop, including the burgeoning biotech sector. Regional leaders are banking on such emerging industries to "move St. Louis forward." We want you to explore that possibility: What are the challenges? Who are the key players? What's happening now?
 
This is a chance to put your personal stamp on a busy, high-profile beat in a diverse region of 2.8 million people. You’ll have the freedom to follow your news instincts and craft dynamic stories, from breaking news to features to investigations. You’ll need to understand the basics of a business beat, but we’re not looking for earnings report stories. We want you to dig into the local scene and find topical and smart stories.
 
We want someone who can work across all of our digital platforms, navigate social media and understands the need to experiment with new story forms. Experience in data journalism is a plus.
 
Please include 6-8 samples of your work when you apply.

Business Reporter

The Corvallis Gazette-Times is looking for its next great journalist. Join our national- and regional-award-winning team to cover the city of Corvallis, a vibrant university town with more than 60% holding at least a bachelor’s degree (nearly twice that of the U.S. at large) and more than 20% a master’s or above. This is a place where debates about the great topics of our day with passion and knowledge are prevalent.
 
Our standards are high. This reader puts it aptly; we got this just the other day about a series we did:
 
“I found it informative and thought-provoking while also remaining moving. The legal and civic issues were handled clearly, but the human dimension never got lost. … I also appreciated the tone of the series. It trusted the material and the listener, and that gave it force. That balance of careful reporting and strong storytelling made it especially effective.”
 
This is true local journalism — the kind where your work actually matters and impacts the community.
 
What You’ll Do: 
<ul>
<li>Report and write stories for both print and digital platforms</li>
<li>Take photos and videos to accompany stories</li>
<li>Post and optimize content for the web and social media</li>
<li>Build sources and generate story ideas independently</li>
<li>Help grow and engage our digital subscriber base</li>
</ul>
What We’re Looking For: 
<ul>
<li>Strong writing and reporting skills with knowledge of AP style</li>
<li>Ability to work independently and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment</li>
<li>Experience with (or willingness to learn) photography, videography and digital publishing</li>
<li>Curiosity, initiative and a genuine interest in community journalism</li>
<li>Comfort working across both print and digital platforms</li>
</ul>
Qualifications: 
<ul>
<li>A journalism degree is preferred, but internships and relevant experience will be considered</li>
<li>Valid driver’s license and current vehicle insurance required</li>
</ul>
Additional Details: 
This position may include some night and weekend hours. The ability to produce timely, accurate reporting in today’s fast-moving digital news environment is essential.
 
If you’re looking for a role where no two days are the same — and where your work actually reaches and matters to a community — we’d like to hear from you.
 
About the Area
 
Corvallis, home to Oregon State University, is in the heart of the mid-Willamette Valley in Benton County. The office is 10 miles east, in Albany. If you love the whole farm-to-table vibe, hikes in breathtaking nature, complete with waterfalls, and access to a big city (Portland) an hour or so away, it just might be the place you never leave.
