The Capital Journal in Pierre, South Dakota, is seeking two multi-beat reporters that can cover both local news and sports. That’s right. We’re looking for two reporters that can cover anything from a Friday night football game to a city commission meeting to writing features and enterprise stories and we’re willing to pay for that kind of flexibility and hustle. These two reporters will work side-by-side with our editor who will also be covering and writing local news. We’re a two-days-a-week print newspaper and seven days digital on capjournal.com.
