The Keene Sentinel, an award-winning locally owned newspaper in New Hampshire’s picturesque Monadnock Region, is looking for a general assignment reporter with a focus on education and business to join the team. The Sentinel has been a family-owned and independent newspaper since 1799.

The Sentinel blends a long legacy of people-first journalism with a spirit of innovation, as a digital-first operation using multimedia (audio/podcasts, video, etc.) to diversify our storytelling beyond the printed page. At The Sentinel, you’ll find a deeply collaborative, supportive work environment that emphasizes mentorship. Our forward-focused approach extends past the media we use to the critical look we’re taking at outdated journalistic practices and – while maintaining top-tier ethical standards – our efforts to evolve beyond them.

As a general assignment reporter, you will report on a wide range of topics, while also covering two core beats – education and business – with no shortage of important stories, whether it be examining the impact of threatened tariffs on local companies or continued state legislative debates over how New Hampshire pays for public education.

What we are looking for:

• Excellent writing skills, and some newswriting experience (whether professional or via a college newspaper, internship or other published work)
• Curiosity; someone who isn’t afraid to follow a hunch, reach deeper and doesn’t take what authority figures say at face value
• The interest and capacity to stretch, whether new to journalism or further in one’s career
• Strong time management skills – the ability to produce daily content while also working on larger, enterprise pieces

What we can offer:

• $36,000 per year (via an hourly rate) plus benefits (health and dental insurance, sick/personal/vacation leave)
• An excellent work culture in a family-owned, independent newsroom, with colleagues and leaders passionate about journalism and its social importance
• Solid advancement opportunities, where possible: Sentinel reporters have advanced to all levels of newsroom leadership, and Sentinel alumni have moved on to larger regional papers en route to major metro and national publications. These include but aren’t limited to the Boston Globe, The New York Times, Money magazine, Business Insider, CNN and the Associated Press.
• The chance to be part of a news organization with strong community engagement that is regularly honored for its journalism. Highlights in recent years include being named the New England Newspaper and Press Association’s Newspaper of the Year in The Sentinel’s circulation class
