Reporter

Rappahannock Media/InsideNoVa is seeking a tenacious reporter to cover Fauquier County, Virginia, located roughly one hour west of Washington, D.C. This full-time position will focus on the county’s Board of Supervisors, School Board and Warrenton Town Council, as well as other breaking and enterprising stories, for FauquierNow.com. Your work will often appear on InsideNoVa.com and RappNews.com, as well. We’re looking for candidates with 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 would live in and/or be familiar with Fauquier County, but an eager and talented reporter willing to live or relocate nearby will certainly be considered. Although there are events and meetings to cover most weekdays, there are plenty of 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 FauquierNow.com

FauquierNow was bought in January 2022 by Rappahannock Media LLC, which in addition to InsideNoVa, owns weekly and bi-weekly newspapers in neighboring Prince William, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties and a group of community magazines, including Warrenton Lifestyle. The FauquierNow website was redesigned and relaunched in summer 2022.

InsideNoVa/Rappahannock Media offers a number of benefits to employees, including:
Work from home. While we have offices in Woodbridge, Warrenton, Culpeper and Little Washington (Rappahannock County), most positions offer remote or hybrid work options.
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. Full-time employees receive paid holidays and paid time off, depending on years of service with the company.
Medical insurance. Full-time employees are eligible to enroll in our medical and dental insurance plans, with a significant company contribution toward the monthly premium.
Life insurance/long-term disability coverage: Full-time employees receive life insurance and long-term disability insurance coverage at no cost.
