Reporter

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is hiring reporters!

Are you experienced in covering government, down to fighting with officials for records? We could sure use you to help us keep tab on how tax dollars are spent.

Or do you like to stretch your reporting and writing muscles and pursue stories that are unknown, peculiar, fascinating or just plain fun? Our readers know that stories about policy and politics are important, but they need something hopeful, something light on occasion.

Do you want to help us reach a broader audience, especially online? We are always looking for those stories that draw in new readers who will be convinced to become subscribers.

A candidate for this job should have a bachelor’s degree in journalism or relevant experience. We are interested in all levels of experience.

We have a team-oriented atmosphere in the newsroom. While many reporters are on beats, it is common for reporters to work with editors or reporters in other areas.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, located in the capital city of Little Rock, is a family owned newspaper committed to providing news without bias. Our aim is to be the No. 1 source of news in Arkansas. We have a commitment to news and aggressively defend the state Freedom of Information Act and the public’s right to know.

The Democrat-Gazette shifted the bulk of its subscribers to an electronic edition that can be viewed on tablets, mobile phones and computers. A print edition is delivered on Sundays. A small number of daily editions are printed for rack sales.

Little Rock sits on the Arkansas River, where the start of the Ouachita Mountains meets the Delta. It’s the home of the Clinton Presidential Center. The capital is a central location from which, in a matter of hours, one can enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, fishing or hunting; hop from one antique store to the next; or visit Dallas, Memphis or New Orleans.

This is a safety-sensitive position. A candidate must pass a drug screening, have a driving record that meets company policy and must be fully vaccinated by date of hire.

If interested in applying, please contact: Assistant Managing Editor Glen Chase gchase@adgnewsroom.com (501) 399-3620
