Wanted: Reporter
Reporter wanted to cover news for print and Internet community in the metropolitan Chicago area. Candidate should be able to write stories with an iPad and take photos/videos via a company-issued iPhone. Candidate will work for publication that has no home base for its circulation area. Organizational skills are paramount, as reporter must provide receipts as proof that they are on the job.
Job Duties:
-Ability to interview subjects anytime, anywhere as there is no newsroom. Candidate should have a car, as it may be your office. Familiarity with locations offering free WiFi a plus
-Must be willing to file stories from public locations such as coffee shops/libraries that will tolerate your presence. Candidate must be comfortable using public restrooms
-On call 24/7 for possible breaking news for as low as $13/hour
- Position requires tact to interface with community members who complain about the publication's lack of content
- Ability to deal with distant and hard-to-reach editors in a toxic labor environment is a plus
Education:
-Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism or related field preferred.
Experience:
Enough to know how to churn out multiple stories per day, but not enough experience to demand a reasonable salary.
