Managing Editor, Omaha World-Herald

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.

The Corvallis Gazette-Times is looking for its next great journalist.

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.
