General Assignment Reporter

New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) is seeking a curious, innovative and thoughtful journalist to join our newsroom as a general assignment reporter. This job will be at the center of our newsroom and daily news coverage. On any given day, you may be assigned to cover a State House hearing, a protest, a campaign rally, or a courtroom trial. But you’ll also be encouraged to pitch your own ideas -- for both daily coverage as well as enterprise reporting -- and develop a specialty that reflects your interests and the coverage needs of the community. That may range from criminal justice reform to housing to rural communities to higher education, or something else. While we’re looking for someone ready to jump on breaking news, we don’t rush to cover every story or prioritize speed at the expense of nuance or depth. We’re looking for someone with a passion for creative storytelling in multiple media, and exploring unexpected stories that touch our audience and make an impact. Collaboration is also key to how we work, so we’re looking for someone who loves teaming up with others. NHPR is committed to mentoring our journalists, including candidates from untraditional professional backgrounds, and helping them develop as journalists and leaders.
