You will work with editors and reporters who are committed to producing a great newspaper and championing good writing that helps our readers better understand the complex world in which we live.

Amenities include close proximity to Chesapeake Bay and all of its many water sports and activities. There is a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. If you love good food, the hundreds of wonderful restaurants on the Eastern Shore are a big draw.

Easton is about an hour from Baltimore and 90 minutes from Washington, D.C.
