Position: General Reporter, The Coeur d'Alene Press

Location: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Company: Hagadone Media Group & Hagadone News Network, part of the Hagadone Corporation

DESCRIPTION

The Coeur d'Alene Press is hiring a general reporter. We are looking for someone who can write great features, come up with creative enterprise pieces, dig deep for an investigative story and yes, cover City Council meetings and the occasional weekend parade.

This is a hands-on role on a small, busy staff — everyone pitches in with reporting, photography and video. We publish strong print and digital products; you'll be part of efforts to grow audience engagement, strengthen community trust, and produce a daily paper locals rely on.

Our strength is local content and daily production. While you will be asked to write well and often, you will be given the resources and guidance to do your job, and the time to produce great journalism.

Community Connection

• Support coverage that emphasizes stories important to Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County, and the surrounding region.
• Engage with readers, community leaders, and stakeholders to maintain trust and ensure coverage reflects community priorities.

Requirements

• Proven newsroom experience, with demonstrated skill in writing, editing, and content development.
• Strong mentoring and leadership abilities with a focus on developing talent.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.
• Solid understanding of both print and digital journalism best practices.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
