Community Reporter - DevonLive

It is a really exciting time to join the Reach family. We are now looking for a Facebook Community Reporter to join our network as part of our newsroom team at DevonLive. The role is part of the Community News Project, a partnership between Facebook, the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and local publishers. Previous journalism experience or education is not essential. We want confident people who care about their local communities and want to make a difference and have a positive impact. The purpose of the role is to find and report on the stories, issues and talking points that matter to specific communities and groups of people in and around this location, in a way which ensures as many people as possible discover, engage with and respond to our work. We are especially keen to hear from people who believe they can help make our newsrooms more representative of the diverse communities we serve. Travelling to remote communities and speaking to residents will be an essential part of this role. Therefore a driving licence and access to own transport is essential.
