Reporter

The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, a digitally focused, award-winning, twice-weekly community newspaper in southwestern New Hampshire, is looking for an ambitious reporter who understands the critical role of local journalism.

This job entails covering several Monadnock region towns and includes a bit of everything: government and education reporting, breaking news, crime and features.

Our ideal candidate is endlessly curious and passionately committed to journalism, will work hard and get a great start to a media career. The successful candidate will have some writing experience, proficiency with social media, basic photo and video skills and an unflinching desire to get at the stories our readers need.

The position will require some evening hours and some weekend work. Must have a valid driver’s license and properly insured motor vehicle.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package and offer the potential for advancement within Newspapers of New England, a family-owned group of six newspapers that serves readers in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont. Diversity in hiring is a priority for the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript.
