Staff Writer

Monterey County Weekly has an immediate opening for a staff writer/ utility infielder. We need someone who is a critical thinker and an excellent storyteller—someone who is looking for the opportunity to shine reporting on news—with an emphasis on the criminal and civil justice beats, but who can also contribute as needed to arts and personality-driven features and news on a range of subjects. Must be able to balance long-term stories with breaking news assignments. Our county is now over 50-percent Latino and Spanish language skills are a plus. Digital fluency, data-driven reporting experience and longform writing chops with a minimum of five years experience further enhance the likelihood of hire.
