The News Tribune is looking for a collaborative, audience-focused reporter for our service journalism team, whose mission is to help readers navigate life in Tacoma and Pierce County. These reporters will use engagement tools such as Google Trends to surface and answer questions readers are asking in the moment, will write stories that help readers connect with the news and will create and manage a library of search-friendly evergreen content. Experience with audience growth and engagement tactics such as headline writing and SEO is a must. Expertise in a particular subject area is not required, but the successful candidate will bring a deep understanding of what’s important to local readers, preferably earned by working as part of an audience or engagement team at a local news outlet. The reporters in this role will report to the Northwest regional service journalism editor.
