About The Role: New Jersey Hills Media Group is seeking per-assignment freelance news reporters and full-time — in-office and in-the-field — local news reporters and editors, based in our Whippany, N.J., and Livingston, N.J., offices. Reporters and editors are provided with a variety of responsibilities. Among them are researching, reporting, writing, assigning, and editing daily news, sports, and features articles in a collection of New Jersey Hills Media Group coverage area towns. Reporter responsibilities also include taking photos and noting caption information. Editor responsibilities further include daily digital packaging and distribution of articles and photos through our website, email newsletters, and social media accounts, and laying out and proofreading one or more weekly printed newspapers on strict deadlines in collaboration with our production department. Other key editor requirements include managing freelance contributor and staff reporter assignments, writing opinion columns, soliciting letters to the editor and opinion columns from members of the community, publishing paid obituaries, and converting press releases into news articles — always adhering to Associated Press style. Full-time employees are required to spend some business days in the office and to spend some hours on business days, evenings, and weekends on location and working from home — covering local meetings, events, and breaking news, conducting enterprise reporting research and interviews, and writing and editing.
