Community Reporter
Full-Time Reporter
Are you looking for a great reporting opportunity in a growing suburban community just minutes from big-city amenities?
The DeSoto Times-Tribune, a family-owned community newspaper in DeSoto County, Mississippi—just outside Memphis—has an opening for a full-time reporter.
Although our primary focus is community news, there is no shortage of hard-news headlines. DeSoto County is one of Mississippi’s fastest-growing counties and is located only 15 minutes from downtown Memphis and Beale Street. We compete directly with Memphis-area newspapers, television stations and online news outlets.
We are looking for a flexible, motivated reporter who is ready to cover the stories that matter to our community. In a typical week, you might cover a DeSoto County Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, a Board of Aldermen meeting on Tuesdays, a major business announcement on Wednesday, a school board meeting on Thursday and community features or events over the weekend.
Our newsroom staff is small, but the opportunities to develop your skills and grow as a reporter are unlimited.
Qualifications and Responsibilities:
Bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications or a related field required
At least two years of professional newsroom experience preferred; qualified recent graduates will also be considered
Must live locally or be willing to relocate to the DeSoto County area
Strong writing, interviewing and news judgment skills
Ability to manage multiple stories, assignments and deadlines
Ability to take quality photographs
Availability to cover breaking news for our website
Social media experience is required
Ability to create social media content, promote stories, report breaking news and engage with readers across multiple platforms
Layout and graphic design experience is a plus but not required
Flexibility to work some nights and weekends
We offer a flexible work schedule and the opportunity to join an exciting news team covering one of Mississippi’s most active communities. This is an in-person position and is not available remotely.
To apply, please submit your resume, cover letter and work samples to [email protected].
