Description

Job description: Reporter – Adams MultiMedia Adams MultiMedia is hiring a full-time reporter to work out of our Marinette, Wisconsin office. This position primarily focuses on municipal, county and school coverage in Marinette and its twin city of Menominee, Michigan, with additional opportunities to cover general-assignment, business and human-interest stories. The ability to comprehend the workings of a governmental meeting - and break it down for a member of the general public to not only understand, but to be informed of its significance - is crucial. Cultivating sources, uncovering stories that would otherwise go underreported and shedding light on the human side of these developments are among the skills that are required for the position. Qualifications include a degree in journalism or professional reporting experience. Skills desired include photography, social media, an understanding of open records laws and the ability to get sources to speak freely, whether that’s a government official or a reluctant feature story subject. Most important is a can-do attitude and a desire to expand your skillset. If you have a hole in your resume, don’t worry. We’ve got people who can teach you and a budding development culture. Strong performers will have the opportunity to contribute to other titles in our region and to expand to a broader range of beats in Marinette and Menominee. AMM publishes several papers in Wisconsin. In all of our communities, readers want useful, local content that enriches their lives and their communities. We need stories about our neighbors, our businesses, our governments and local trends. We offer competitive starting pay and benefits. How to Apply: Please send your resume today and writing samples. We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
