    News-Press & Gazette Co., St. Joseph, Mo., is hiring to fill a reporting opening in its multimedia newsroom providing content for our two television stations (FOX 26 KNPN and NBC 21 KNPG), daily newspaper (St. Joseph News-Press), website (newspressnow.com) and social media platforms. Applicants’ multimedia skills and reporting experience are both valued.

    The specific opening calls for a reporter who will cover local sports topics – news and features – that lend themselves to multimedia storytelling. This staff member also will participate in beat coverage essential to covering the high school and NCAA Division II college programs that have a large following in our region north of Kansas City, Missouri. In addition, we seek a well-rounded journalist who can be tasked with covering other local news topics from time to time.

    Applicants should expect to use all of the tools of the trade to tell compelling stories focused on our core market. Over time, all reporters in our newsroom become true multimedia journalists as they add to and develop their skills to become equally adept at reporting for TV, print and the web.

    We prefer a college degree with a concentration in multimedia journalism and two years of practical experience. Solid college preparation is a plus for recent grads who apply. Candidates from the Midwest are strongly preferred.

    Core requirements: commitment to journalism and multimedia news reporting; ability to learn new skills; understanding of journalism ethics, press law and the competitive aspects of daily reporting; and ability to do good work on deadline, for both broadcast and print.

    A valid driver’s license and a safe driving record also are required. Employment is contingent on passage of a drug screening and a background check.

    Prospective candidates should make their interest known as soon as possible. To apply, send a brief letter of introduction, current resume, names of three references, and examples of your best work. Please mention you are applying for POSITION 0118 REPORTER. Apply to careers@npgco.com or send your materials to Human Resources, News-Press & Gazette Co., 825 Edmond, St. Joseph, MO 64501.

    News-Press & Gazette Co. is an Equal Opportunity Employer
