We are looking for a team player willing to get involved in the local community through the publication of the twice-weekly newspaper. He or she will have a commitment to community journalism; be able to write everything from briefs about people and events to in-depth stories that examine complex issues facing the community; be able to spot emerging issues and trends; and have the ability to write clean, balanced and accurate stories that dig deeper than simple features.

If you would like to apply, email us your cover letter, resume, and include three examples of your best work showcasing your reporting skills and writing chops with your resume submission to careers@soundpublishing.com with a subject line of "Oak Harbor Reporter".
