Job Description

Small weekly print (and online too) newspaper in Southeast Alaska looking for a reporter who would enjoy working in a small town on an island (population 2,000), making friends in a small town, getting to know the people, being patient with residents who are not always accustomed to being interviewed, and becoming part of the town so that the reporter sees the news while walking around and people will tell you about the news. This is a get-out-of-the office job -- people in small towns like to see you and get to know you. Stories include City Hall, high school sports, history and people features, the outdoors, civic issues, most everything you might imagine and more. The job is all about reporting on local issues and lives. Photography and some social media too. Inquisitiveness a must. Curiosity a must. Accuracy a must. The rest is easy. If you're interested in learning more, send a short letter or resume. Or call 907-351-8276. No texts; no emojis; no remote work. Small-town reporters have to live in the town. Email: paper@alaskan.com .
