Position Summary

We are looking for passionate and curious Local and Community News Reporters (Interns or Volunteers) who can cover stories that matter—those that often go unheard. This is an opportunity to engage in grassroots journalism and amplify community voices through original reporting.

Research and investigate local issues, events, and trends relevant to your community.
Conduct interviews with citizens, local officials, activists, and changemakers.
Write well-researched articles, features, and reports adhering to high journalistic standards.

Stay up to date with regional developments, politics, civic matters, and public policy.
Promote civic engagement and awareness through community storytelling.
Submit work on deadline and maintain clear communication with editorial staff.
Uphold media ethics, neutrality, and integrity in all work.

Qualifications

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Journalism, Mass Communication, English, Political Science, or related fields.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Strong research skills and curiosity for community-based issues.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Comfortable using digital tools (Google Docs, email, content management systems).
Bonus: Experience with video/audio editing tools or reporting from rural/grassroots areas.
Prior journalistic experience is a plus but not mandatory—we value dedication and learning.
