Media Jobs In New England

Location: Positions available across Massachusetts
Date: Tuesday, September 1st, 2026
Hours: 7:45 PM until final results are released, typically 2-3 hours
Pay: $125 for the evening.

Job Description:
USA Today Stringers are a valuable part of our election results collection operation. As a stringer, your main responsibility is to report results to USA Today via the web using your smartphone. In some cases, phone calls may be necessary instead. Results will be released by election officials periodically, and stringers will upload the new results as quickly and accurately as possible after receiving the update. They will also remain on site to answer any questions USA Today may have about when or how results are being released. This position typically takes around 2-3 hours but could go longer, and stringers should be prepared to stay until the election official indicates that no more results will be released this evening, or until your coordinator dismisses you.

There will be a short but mandatory training prior to election day that will cover how to report results, how to interact with officials, and how to get paid. Potential for becoming a regular election night stringer in your area is very high, so long as the job is done well. If interested, email rboike@usatodayco.com with your name, phone number, and ZIP code.

Requirements: Smartphone, transportation, ability to quickly and accurately record results to report.
