Staff Reporter

Full-time
Reporter We're hiring reporters to join a newsroom that's building for the future — and we want a reporter who's excited to help figure out what our audience and our community needs most for their local news organization. This is a role for someone who loves being in the field, chasing a story, and getting it right. There will be plenty of general assignment stories to pursue, and we’re still solidifying what beats we most need to pursue. If you have a proven skill or a passion for following a specific beat, we want to hear your ideas. About the Valley News The Valley News is a digitally focused newsroom and 6-day-a-week paper serving communities on both sides of the Connecticut River in New Hampshire and Vermont. We believe local news is essential to a community's health, vitality and sense of itself — and we're backing that belief with continued investment:
  • We've rebuilt our digital tools and storytelling capabilities from the ground up.

  • We're growing into new ways to reach our audiences, including newsletters, apps and engagement opportunities.

  • We're part of a family-owned news group that understands what it actually takes to sustain great local news.

A reporter joining us now gets to help shape coverage as the newsroom grows. What you'll do
  • Report original stories, from daily news to deeper enterprise pieces, on a beat we'll define together based on your strengths and our community's needs.

  • Go beyond meetings and press releases to find the stories that reflect how people in this region actually live.

  • Build real sources and relationships in the communities you cover.

  • Write clean, compelling copy on deadline, and take the time that a bigger story deserves.

  • Experiment with format — narrative, explainers, Q&As — rather than defaulting to the inverted pyramid every time.

  • Build your digital skills so you can add photography, digital infographics and maps when your story needs it. 

  • Work closely with editors and other members of the staff who want to make your work better.

  • Contribute to newsletters, social strategy and other ways we reach readers beyond the printed page.

Who you are
  • A reporter, at any stage of your career, who's serious about the work and eager to grow .

  • Curious by nature. You see the world around you as a story waiting to be told.

  • Comfortable working across print and digital platforms.

  • Someone who wants real ownership of a beat, not just a rotation of assignments.

  • Someone with ideas and a willingness to bring them to the table.

  • Someone who sees AI as a tool that creates an opportunity to deepen reporting and find new stories we otherwise wouldn’t have found or told. We're exploring what AI can responsibly add to a newsroom our size — carefully, transparently, always under a journalist’s control and within our AI ethics policy.

What we offer
  • A newsroom that's actively investing in tools, training and new storytelling formats.

  • The backing of Newspapers of New England, a family-owned company that plays the long game on local news. Our publications are consistently recognized as among the best in New England.

  • Competitive salary and a range of benefits, including health care and a 401(k) plan.

  • Life in the Upper Valley — home to Dartmouth College and a stretch of New Hampshire and Vermont known for its arts scene, outdoor opportunities and high quality of life.

To apply: Send a resume, cover letter and three samples of your best work to Publisher Rich Wallace at View email address on journalismjobs.com . The Valley News is an equal opportunity employer.
