Reporter

One day you may be talking to the family of a shooting victim. The next week you may be at a business opening. And your next day’s schedule could change at the drop of the hat when you grab a camera and get over to an active house fire. And through that you’ll be working on projects about local problems, whether they be housing issues to questionable uses of public funds, to bringing attention to unsolved cold cases.

This is true local journalism we’re doing here.

The Journal Times is a place to learn and grow, but more importantly to make an impact on a community that benefits from local news.

We’re looking for a newspaper reporter/photographer who writes clearly, can develop relationships with sources and has an ability to take initiative.  Responsibilities will include writing, taking photos for the paper, posting content online and on social media.

The Journal Times is a daily newspaper in southeast Wisconsin with numerous statewide awards. We are based in Racine but are part of a nationwide network; your work will be read by thousands across the Midwest.

New journalists are welcome to apply. Writing samples and photos from college papers are welcome. We can offer training for a skilled candidate.

The position requires some night and weekend hours. The ideal candidate would be able to cover a variety of stories from news to features to sports.

We cover an urban, suburban and rural area with its downtown along Lake Michigan.  The county sits between Milwaukee and Chicago.  Racine County is a community that has its own identity and relies on The Journal Times for news and information. The Journal Times is part of Lee Enterprises.
