Multimedia Journalist

We’re seeking highly skilled and organized journalists to join our dynamic, passionate team dedicated to telling the stories of public education. These reporters will cover multiple Kent ISD districts, using their skills in interviewing, writing, photography and video to showcase teaching and learning, human interest features, news, events and the myriad issues impacting schools.

School News Network (schoolnewsnetwork.org) is a unique education news site operated by experienced journalists. While editorially independent, we are supported by Kent ISD, and partners in our advocacy journalism. Our mission: to offer a window into our public schools.

We are a small, independent, highly supportive team of professional reporters and editors who value and learn from each other’s expertise and encourage growth. Successful candidates will have a passion for education, a resourceful “can-do” attitude, plus a willingness to share their talent with colleagues.

Our specialty is in-the-classroom coverage, using student voice to elevate stories and illustrate how learning is taking place. Our journalists have strong observational and interviewing skills and must have the ability to tackle important education issues and present them in understandable, compelling ways.
