Multimedia Reporter

At COURIER Newsroom, we empower people and communities to connect with the news, opportunities, and issues impacting their lives. We believe that giving local journalists stronger platforms, access to audience data, and opportunities to grow with—not against—changing social media trends can significantly impact civic participation in a state—and build a healthier democracy from the ground up.

Through original reporting, kitchen-table storytelling, and approachable explainers, we’re passionate about making the news real—and interesting—to our audience. We’re a rapidly growing team with new ideas on how to change the political landscape of this world.

COURIER is currently seeking a new Multimedia Reporter for our new New Hampshire newsroom, Granite Post.

The primary goal of our Community Department is to build trust and deepen engagement with our “core audience”—passive news consumers and Americans who typically get most of their news and information from social media and via newsletters.

Job Description

The Multimedia Reporter is responsible for writing articles and producing video, graphics and other content that center the core audience by offering the news and information that resonates most with them. This includes sharing useful information on the state and local level (think “news you can use”); producing multimedia content about the shared experience of living in our state; and creating opportunities to lift up voices that often go unheard in the media.

The Multimedia Reporter is also expected to support the goals of the Politics Department by contributing reporting on key political and policy developments in the Granite State, with special attention to covering how those decisions impact people’s day-to-day lives via human-centered storytelling.

Because this person will produce both community and political content, they will work closely with Granite Post’s Community Editor and Political Correspondent.

We’re a fully remote team, but applicants must live in New Hampshire.

Duties include but are not limited to:

Pitching and producing an average of 2-4 news graphics, videos, and other content per day for our social platforms that are relevant and useful to the audience we’re building in New Hampshire
Writing at least five site articles a week, using original reporting and/or best practices for aggregation
Doing presenter-led videos and/or voice-overs for multimedia content
Creating simple graphics, such as headline and quote cards, in Canva
Utilizing audience insights and performance data to inform story/content pitches and new product ideas aimed at reaching new people
Working alongside the state team’s Social Media Manager on best practices to maintain the property’s brand style and tone
Supporting initiatives aimed at demonstrating a deepening level of loyalty among our audience, such as polls, surveys, and events

The ideal candidate will have the following:

Considerable knowledge of the types of stories and topics that resonate with Granite Staters, particularly on TikTok and Instagram
A passion for earning the trust of our core audience by delivering the news and information they’re searching for
2+ years of experience using creative storytelling to tell relevant and compelling stories in New Hampshire, ranging from “news you can use” to human-centered features to SEO-friendly lifestyle listicles
An interest in better understanding performance data and audience insights and how that can inform impactful storytelling
An eagerness to collaborate with team members who have complementary skills.
An ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary stakeholders across the company
A strong grasp on AP style.
Strong project and time management skills.
