Staff Reporter
Reporter
We're hiring reporters to join a newsroom that's building for the future — and we want a reporter who's excited to help figure out what our audience and our community needs most for their local news organization.
This is a role for someone who loves being in the field, chasing a story, and getting it right. There will be plenty of general assignment stories to pursue, and we’re still solidifying what beats we most need to pursue. If you have a proven skill or a passion for following a specific beat, we want to hear your ideas.
About the Valley News
The Valley News is a digitally focused newsroom and 6-day-a-week paper serving communities on both sides of the Connecticut River in New Hampshire and Vermont. We believe local news is essential to a community's health, vitality and sense of itself — and we're backing that belief with continued investment:
We've rebuilt our digital tools and storytelling capabilities from the ground up.
We're growing into new ways to reach our audiences, including newsletters, apps and engagement opportunities.
We're part of a family-owned news group that understands what it actually takes to sustain great local news.
A reporter joining us now gets to help shape coverage as the newsroom grows.
What you'll do
Report original stories, from daily news to deeper enterprise pieces, on a beat we'll define together based on your strengths and our community's needs.
Go beyond meetings and press releases to find the stories that reflect how people in this region actually live.
Build real sources and relationships in the communities you cover.
Write clean, compelling copy on deadline, and take the time that a bigger story deserves.
Experiment with format — narrative, explainers, Q&As — rather than defaulting to the inverted pyramid every time.
Build your digital skills so you can add photography, digital infographics and maps when your story needs it.
Work closely with editors and other members of the staff who want to make your work better.
Contribute to newsletters, social strategy and other ways we reach readers beyond the printed page.
Who you are
A reporter, at any stage of your career, who's serious about the work and eager to grow .
Curious by nature. You see the world around you as a story waiting to be told.
Comfortable working across print and digital platforms.
Someone who wants real ownership of a beat, not just a rotation of assignments.
Someone with ideas and a willingness to bring them to the table.
Someone who sees AI as a tool that creates an opportunity to deepen reporting and find new stories we otherwise wouldn’t have found or told. We're exploring what AI can responsibly add to a newsroom our size — carefully, transparently, always under a journalist’s control and within our AI ethics policy.
What we offer
A newsroom that's actively investing in tools, training and new storytelling formats.
The backing of Newspapers of New England, a family-owned company that plays the long game on local news. Our publications are consistently recognized as among the best in New England.
Competitive salary and a range of benefits, including health care and a 401(k) plan.
Life in the Upper Valley — home to Dartmouth College and a stretch of New Hampshire and Vermont known for its arts scene, outdoor opportunities and high quality of life.
To apply: Send a resume, cover letter and three samples of your best work to Publisher Rich Wallace at [email protected].
The Valley News is an equal opportunity employer.
