The Star Democrat (Easton, Maryland) is looking for a general assignment reporter.
This is a great opportunity for a young reporter who is looking for a newspaper that will provide coaching to help grow your journalism skills. The reporter we are replacing leaves big shoes to fill. She came to us three years ago straight out of college and recently moved to a larger daily newspaper. Now her byline regularly appears in the Baltimore Sun. That is the opportunity we are offering.
You will work with editors and reporters who are committed to producing a great newspaper and championing good writing that helps our readers better understand the complex world in which we live.
The position is a critical part of the Star Democrat newsroom. We want someone who can go beyond meetings to find stories the community needs to know. The ideal reporter has experience in newsrooms and has a knack for creative stories – both news and features. You’ll take your own photos for stories.
Recent and soon-to-be college graduates are urged to apply.
The Star Democrat has a close-knit newsroom. The reporters and editors are supportive, and we want to see each other succeed. We work hard, but we are serious about maintaining a good balance between work and life.
The newspaper is produced six days a week – four days in print and two days as e-editions. Stories often appear online before they run in print. The Star Democrat is located in Easton, Maryland, on the beautiful Eastern Shore. The newspaper covers stories in a five-county region.
Amenities include close proximity to Chesapeake Bay and all of its many water sports and activities. There is a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. If you love good food, the hundreds of wonderful restaurants on the Eastern Shore are a big draw.
Easton is about an hour from Baltimore and 90 minutes from Washington, D.C.
We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
