Wichita, KS, USA
The Wichita Eagle is looking for a high-energy, self-starting and community-minded reporter to cover Wichita’s suburbs.
This reporter will be tasked with finding topics that people who live in these growing areas care about, stories that affect their quality of life. Those topics could range from development and education to safety, politics and new places to eat and do business.
We are seeking a versatile and resourceful journalist who can dig in, turning in multiple quick stories each week while also pursuing more enterprising angles. Story ideas will come from getting out in these communities, not just from meeting agendas. The reporter will be open to using callouts and other engagement tools to hear directly from residents about what they’d like to see covered and will use multiple story formats, including service journalism-style explainers and fact checks.
In this role, you will need to:
Focus on stories that build readership.
Build engaging multimedia...
