HELP WANTED: NEWS REPORTER

Tell the stories that matter 

to your community

Do you like meeting people, asking questions and finding out what’s really going on in your community?

The Maryville Forum, a once-weekly newspaper serving communities in Nodaway and Worth counties in northwest Missouri, is looking for an experienced journalist who understands the importance of strong local news and wants to make a difference in the communities we serve.

This isn’t a job where you sit behind a desk all day. You’ll be out in the community covering the people, events and issues that matter — from local government and schools to businesses, community events, interesting people and the stories everyone will be talking about tomorrow.

We’re looking for someone who:

- Is curious and enjoys talking with people

- Can write clearly and tell a good story

- Is dependable, organized and willing to meet deadlines

- Has an interest in local news and the community

- Is comfortable taking photos and using basic technology

- Wants to do work that makes a difference

If you’re a good writer, naturally curious 

and willing to learn, we want to hear from you.

What We Offer

- A chance to become an important part of the community

- Interesting work where every day is different

- Opportunities to meet people from all walks of life

- A supportive small-town newspaper environment

- Competitive pay

- Benefits, including a retirement plan

- The satisfaction of producing content your neighbors actually read and depend on

Local newspapers still matter. So do the people who tell the stories of our community.
