The Roanoke Times seeks an enterprising journalist to join its award-winning team of news reporters covering the Roanoke and New River valleys. Expectations include the completion of daily and mid-range stories as well as longer-term projects, timely completion of news stories for online and social media postings and the ability to develop strong sources.
If you have an insatiable hunger for news and an insistence on getting it right, we want to hear from you. We're not looking for people who always wanted to give reporting a try. We're looking for serious, dedicated journalists eager to be a part of an organization with a long history of excellence. Surrounded by mountains and set in one of America's great small cities, with a rich night life and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, The Roanoke Times is the leading newspaper in Southwest Virginia.
If you think you're right for the job, send a cover letter, resume with references and three of your best writing samples to Managing Editor Lee Wolverton at lee.wolverton@roanoke.com. The subject line should read, “Reporter.”
