- are willing to travel the state of Oregon and you have the narrative skill to focus your stories through the lens of Oregonians most affected by them
- understand the importance of both lengthy investigations and breaking news
We offer a competitive Salary: commensurate with experience, full health and dental benefits, , 401K with an employer match, and 11 paid holidays. This is a hybrid role based in Portland, Oregon and will require at least two-three days a week in the newsroom. Travel within the state will be required.
