Daily Newsletter Writer – Maine Trust For Local News

The Maine Trust for Local News, home of the Portland Press Herald, Sun Journal and more, seeks an eloquent and confident journalist to spearhead our daily newsletter product.

The core job of the newsletter writer will be to produce a flagship daily newsletter — delivered to more than 50,000 inboxes and growing — Monday through Friday mornings. This writer and curator will work Sunday through Thursday, crafting a deeply curated, sharply written newsletter that showcases the day’s most important and interesting journalism from our newsrooms.

The daily newsletter is not simply a collection of links, and we’re not looking for dry AI-generated summaries. We need smart, original writing that distills stories and infuses context and color where appropriate, using a conversational tone with a strong voice. The writer also needs experienced news judgment and an innate sense of what kinds of stories our readers care about.

Inclusion of photos and interactive elements will be important too. We want the daily newsletter to not only reflect the most recent news but also drive conversation and engagement with readers.

Experience working in a fast-paced newsroom environment and meeting deadlines is crucial. Familiarity or a willingness to learn the newsletter platform Active Campaign and a working knowledge of audience analytics are pluses.

Collaborating with our newsletter editor, the writer will also monitor audience engagement metrics and adjust strategy on design, features and promotion to make sure we grow our product audience. The daily newsletter is one of our most direct and trusted connections with readers, where we seek to build habits and meaningful connections.

The Maine Trust for Local News prides itself on high standards of professionalism and journalism that makes a difference for our readers. We are an equal-opportunity employer.

Applicants should send an email to Newsletter Editor Nina Mahaleris at nmahaleris@metln.org with a cover letter that includes a mention of what newsletters you currently read, a resume, and three professional writing samples.

General Assignment Reporter – The Keene Sentinel

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 the city of Keene, housing and Cheshire County government to join the team.

The Sentinel has been a family-owned and independent newspaper since 1799. In fact, just two families have owned The Sentinel for most of its 226 years.

The Sentinel blends a long legacy of people-first journalism with a spirit of innovation, as a digital-first operation using multimedia 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 core beats with no shortage of important stories.

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 this year include being named the New England Newspaper and Press Association’s Newspaper of the Year in The Sentinel’s circulation class.

The Sentinel publishes continuously online and six days per week in its print edition. This is a 40-hour per week position that is mostly Monday through Friday, with a weekend duty rotation. Some evening and night hours are necessary, as dictated by coverage needs and breaking news. We offer employees a hybrid work environment (three days in the newsroom; two days remote), although this reporter should live or be willing to relocate within The Sentinel’s coverage area. The Sentinel is an equal opportunity employer. We believe attracting and retaining diverse staff is crucial to serving our community and fulfilling our mission.

Would you like to apply or learn more about this opportunity? Please send your cover letter, resume, and three clips to Executive Editor-Local News Anika Clark at aclark@keenesentinel.com. No phone calls, please.
