News-Press NOW is looking for community-minded journalists for our multi-platform newsroom.
Our journalists provide coverage of Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas for a newsroom with a broadcast operation that includes three network affiliates, the largest website in our region, and a newspaper. We're seeking talented and driven multi-media journalists to be part of our team.
Our MMJs provide high-quality content for all our platforms, including television stations FOX 26 KNPN, NBC 21 KNPG, and CBS 30 KCJO, the St. Joseph News-Press and our website, newspressnow.com. Applicants' multimedia skills and reporting experience both are valued.
The opening calls for a versatile reporter who will cover general assignments, including coverage of business, public safety, courts, and government. This reporter should expect to give a large focus to stories - news and features - that lend themselves to multimedia storytelling.
All our MMJs are asked to sign a standard two-year employment contract and live within the St. Joseph market area.
Applicants should expect to use all the tools of the trade to tell compelling stories focused on our core market about 40 miles north of Kansas City, Missouri. Over time, all reporters in our newsroom become true multimedia journalists in a learning environment and receive opportunities to train as relief anchors, producers and weather personnel.
We prefer a college degree with a concentration in convergence or multimedia journalism. Candidates from the Midwest are strongly preferred.
Core requirements: commitment to journalism and multimedia news reporting; ability to learn new skills; understanding of journalism ethics, press law and the competitive aspects of daily reporting; and ability to do good work on deadline, for both broadcast and print.
A valid driver's license, reliable vehicle and a safe driving record also are required. Employment is contingent on the passage of a drug screening and a background check.
