Things to do and Events Reporter
USA TODAY NETWORK is one of the top 20 digital companies in the country, sharing the list with Google, Facebook, and Amazon. And we have over 100 million unique visitors a month, which is more than Buzzfeed, Yahoo News, and Huffington Post. Because our team consists of over 110 local properties with USA TODAY at the helm, you’ll have the luxury of living in a community you love while making a national impact.
The Statesman Journal in Salem, Oregon, is looking for a reporter to join our staff and become an authority on things to do and events in Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley.
The successful candidate must:
• Be multi-media savvy, having the ability to tell stories through video and photos as well as words.
• Mine public records to stay abreast of what is being planned throughout the community.
• Use metrics to determine which events’ content drives the highest community engagement, then look for compelling stories to tell out of these events.
• Go beyond the superficial of who/what/when/where to find and tell the why of what is happening in the community.
• Create topical, relevant and engaging digital content that also can be used in our weekly Weekender entertainment section.
• Plan and execute project-level enterprise stories, photos and videos
The Statesman Journal is part of the USA TODAY NETWORK. We are located in the Oregon capital city of Salem, home to Willamette University, acclaimed wineries, and breweries, with easy access to Portland and the Oregon Coast.
