Local News Reporter
Kearney, NE

Full-time
Full Job Description
The Kearney Hub is seeking a journalist with the ability to cover a wide variety of topics including local news and features. Although the primary beat is covering public safety (police, fire and courts), flexibility is needed to cover other local news events and feature stories important to the community. One day you may interview the family of a crime victim, another day a business opening, and some days, you could react at the drop of a hat to cover a fire, accident, natural disaster or local government issue. Every day is different. This is true local journalism where one can make an impact on a community which benefits from local news.

Responsibilities include writing stories for digital and print, taking photos and posting content online and on social media to engage and grow our digital subscriber base.

If you are able to write clearly, develop sources and can take initiative to find stories, this may be the role for you. The successful candidate will be proficient in AP writing and reporting, photography, videography and use of digital platforms.

Preference will be given to candidates with a journalism degree, although internships and experience will be considered. New graduates/journalists are welcome to apply and the Kearney Hub provides an opportunity for journalists to learn and grow. This position will work some night and weekend hours. The ability to produce timely reports in today's instant digital news environment is a must.
