Reporters and Special Section Editor

The Today’s News-Herald in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, has openings for news reporters and a special sections editor. We’re looking for reporters who will become key players in our growing newsroom as we expand news coverage and grow audience reach. We're also looking for a special sections editor to become the lead person responsible for all facets of production for special sections and a quarterly lifestyle magazine. The News-Herald is a small paper with a big heart, eager to tackle big stories and committed to being the strongest source of local news for our community. Some of those stories have included a deeper look into the lack of workforce housing, ongoing coverage of the drought on the Colorado River, and persistent attention on an education system that doesn't get the support it needs. Lake Havasu City is a popular destination for spring break, a six-week annual affair as college students from around the nation descend on the banks of the Colorado River for partying and recreation. This area is also home to thousands of winter visitors from the Midwest and Canada, along with a population of about 57,000 full-time residents. Most famously, Havasu is also home to the London Bridge (which isn't falling down, despite what nursery rhymes may tell you) and it's one of the top destinations for boating, fishing, offroading and other recreational activities in Arizona and Southern California. All of that means there are lots of stories to be told here. The News-Herald is Arizona's third largest daily newspaper, serving 12,000 paid subscribers in Mohave County's largest city. We also operate one of Northwest Arizona's largest news websites, HavasuNews.com, and produce a quarterly lifestyle magazine and a 4,000-circulation weekly newspaper in the nearby community of Parker.
