Rural Communities Reporter for Kent and Sussex County, Delaware

Spotlight Delaware

Delaware's rural communities in Kent and western Sussex counties are among the state's least covered by media, obscuring the actions of many town councils and limiting the voice of the hundreds of thousands of residents who live in these areas to affect public policy. The rural communities reporter will spend time in these areas, covering their governments, land use debates and concerns with economic development, the environment and health care, among others.

Salary and Benefits:
$60,000 - $70,000 depending on experience

Health insurance starting on day 1, retirement plans, four weeks of paid time off (combined vacation and sick), 12 paid holidays, and two floating holidays.

This position will be:
Hybrid (some days in the office per week)

Moving Stipend:
No moving stipend will be provided.

This position is sponsored in part by Report for America, a national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities.  Report for America is an initiative of The GroundTruth Project. All Report for America Newsroom Partners are Equal Opportunity Employers.
