The Coast News Group, publishers of The Coast News and Inland Edition, is looking for a full-time reporter to start by Labor Day (Sept. 4, 2023) with the experience to produce a wide range of stories in North County San Diego with a focus on city government, politics, crime, courts and human-interest features.

A bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related field AND at least one year of newsroom experience are preferred. On a weekly basis, reporters are expected to attend city council and school board meetings, submit clean copy by deadline, take engaging photos (with captions) of local officials, geographic locations and events, and share original content on The Coast News social media platforms.

The position is part-time to full-time based on experience. Full-time benefits include sick time, health insurance and paid vacation days. Additional advertising writing opportunities are also available to earn extra income.
