The Citizen is looking for a news reporter to work with its award-winning staff in Auburn. Located in Auburn, The Citizen is a newspaper covering the Cayuga County area. We print three times a week, but our first priority is producing stories and multimedia for our website, auburnpub.com. Along with Auburn we cover all the towns and villages of Cayuga County, which lies between Syracuse, Rochester and Ithaca. We also cover some towns and villages immediately outside the county, such as the lakeside village of Skaneateles. Our ideal candidate will bring some storytelling experience and enthusiasm for small-town journalism to The Citizen. Applicable skills include news writing, interviewing, copy editing, taking photos and video, and familiarity with social media. The candidate will have the option to work remotely or at our office in Auburn. The candidate will primarily cover local crime, courts and schools, though there will be opportunities to cover other topics, such as business and human interest stories. A bachelor's degree in journalism and/or some experience working at a news publication is preferred. Along with your resume, please include a cover letter and at least three writing samples, ideally ones that have been published. EOE | |
