What are the responsibilities and job description for the Night Cops Reporter position at Advance Local?
Do you love the rush of breaking news?
Are you determined to get the story right – and first?
Are you willing to challenge the “official” version of events?
PennLive, one of the state’s top breaking news organizations, is searching for a night breaking news and cops reporter.
We’re not satisfied with just covering crashes, fires or crimes. We want to break the news then dig deeper into public safety issues raised by those stories. We want to own the story by asking tough questions about systemic problems and the actions of police and others tasked with serving the public.
The ideal candidate will be able to tell our readers about the people affected by tragedy, and celebrate heroes when we find them. And we want to do it with compelling, conversational stories that focus on solutions as well as problems.
This job will involve working from 3 pm to 11 pm and some weekend work, so solid news judgement and the ability to work independently are important. So is a desire to improve and an ability to triage and juggle multiple stories.
PennLive has been named the state’s top breaking news organization five of the past seven at the Keystone Media Awards and has had the largest audience in the state the past three years, according to Comscore.
If you’re good at covering breaking news but want to be better, our team can help you get there.
Required education, experience and skills:
