GA Reporter
El Nuevo Herald is looking for a collaborative, audience-focused reporter for our service journalism desk, whose mission is to help the Miami Spanish-language audience navigate life in Miami-Dade, Broward and Florida.
This reporter will use engagement tools such as Google Trends to surface and answer questions readers are asking in the moment, will write stories that help readers connect with the news and will create and manage a library of search-friendly evergreen content. This reporter will help us reach new and lost readerships, especially in diverse communities.
Experience with audience growth and engagement tactics such as innovative headline writing and SEO best practices is a must. Expertise covering U.S. immigration agencies such as USCIS, CPB, DHS and the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs is ideal but not required. The successful candidate will bring a deep understanding of what’s important to local readers, preferably earned by working as part of an audience or engagement team at a local news outlet.
This position addresses what el Nuevo Herald has heard from readership and staff about the desire to broaden the work we do to serve communities and issues that we do not currently cover. Reporters may also have the opportunity to incorporate a sub-beat to focus on a specific topic or geographic area to engage in communities and areas where there is new readership for this service journalism content.
What you'll bring:
Education: College degree preferred. The candidate must be bilingual and a native Spanish-speaking writer.
Experience: At least 2-5 years of local news experience
Skills needed:
Experience with audience tools such as Google Trends
Experience with SEO best practices.
Ability to understand audience metrics and the tactics that move them.
Passion for the written word as well as video, audio and motion graphics.
Enthusiasm for experimenting and iterating, quickly and often.
Strong writing and reporting skills.
Excellent news judgment and journalism ethics.
Strong collaborative instincts and a love of teamwork.
Comfort with a job that will be demanding, fast-paced and constantly evolving.
