Are you a journalist who is full of ideas and enjoys digging up your own stories instead of waiting for an editor to send you off to the local sewer system meeting? Do you dare try something new and different? Is taking photographs and engaging readers on the Internet something in which you are comfortable?
If so, The Lima News – an award-winning newspaper in West Central Ohio – would love to hear from you. We are seeking a general assignment reporter who is a self-starter with a healthy competitive streak. Job candidates need the skills to be able to chase down and write a hard news story and the creativity and insights to dazzle readers with a compelling feature. A commitment to fairness and accuracy is essential. Our newsroom works hard, but has fun.
We offer a great facility, a great staff and a competitive salary and benefits package. We are a mid-size newspaper (21,000-daily, 25,000-Sunday) with an excellent reputation for solid journalism, winning AP General Excellence awards 10 out of the last 12 years.
To apply, send or e-mail your resume, cover letter and five to 10 writing/reporting samples to:
