Reporter

This is a unique opportunity to join the largest and most highly recognized news team in the Washington, D.C., suburbs of Northern Virginia. InsideNoVa is seeking a dogged reporter to cover Prince William County Public Schools, the city of Manassas and general news in and around Northern Virginia.

The ideal candidate will have two to three years of newsroom experience, but recent graduates with a strong resume and winning clips will be considered. Photography and digital media skills are required.

This is a local, on-the-ground reporting position. Sourcing and getting to know the community are imperative. The ideal candidate lives in and is familiar with Prince William County and Northern Virginia, but a talented, eager reporter willing to live or relocate nearby will certainly be considered. While there will be events and meetings to cover most weekdays, there are remote aspects of the job. Most weeks you’ll be able to work from home a day or two. We’re a flexible, team-oriented company that understands the modern workplace.

The best way to get a sense for the position and our expectations is to peruse InsideNoVa’s coverage of the School Board, Manassas City Council and other items at InsideNoVa.com.

InsideNoVa.com and its award-winning weekly InsideNoVa-Prince William newspaper are locally owned by Rappahannock Media LLC, which also owns weekly and bi-weekly newspapers in Rappahannock and Culpeper counties, a group of community magazines in Loudoun, Prince William, Fauquier and Stafford counties and the digital property FauquierNow. InsideNoVa.com was redesigned earlier this year.

InsideNoVa/Rappahannock Media offers a number of benefits, including:

Work from home. While this position is based out of our Woodbridge office, reporters do not need to be in the office every day.
Flexible hours. We're in the news business, which is 24/7, but most positions are not Monday-Friday, 9-5. Generally, you can structure your own schedule, as long as the work gets done.
Family atmosphere. We're a small team, about 30 full- and part-time employees, some of whom have worked for InsideNoVa or our other products for over 20 years.
Paid time off and paid holidays.
Medical insurance, with a significant company contribution toward the monthly premium.
Life insurance/long-term disability coverage provided at no cost.
