Newsletter Editor, Utah Remote (U.S. – Utah based) | Full-Time | Compensation: $65k - $75k
Join Courier Newsroom – an organization that drives journalism and empowers communities.
Who We Are At COURIER, we empower people and communities to connect with the news, opportunities, and issues impacting their lives.
We believe that giving local journalists stronger platforms, access to audience data, and opportunities to grow with (not against) changing social and online media trends can significantly impact civic participation in a state—and build a healthier democracy from the ground up.
Through original reporting, news curation, presenter‑led videos, and approachable explainers, we’re passionate about making the news real—and interesting—to our audience.
We’re a rapidly growing team with new ideas on how to break through the political noise in an evolving media landscape—that includes social media platforms with zero fact‑checks—and inspire people to take action.
We think a lot about ways to build trust and deepen engagement with passive news consumers who typically get most of their news and information from social media and via newsletters.
Our values‑driven newsrooms work to highlight the forces that shape our lives while calling attention to the impacts of policy‑making and political action on the local level.
COURIER Newsroom is committed to building an inclusive workplace that values diverse perspectives and lived experiences.
We strongly encourage women, people of color, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from all backgrounds to apply.
As an equal‑opportunity employer, we strive to break down barriers and ensure every team member feels seen, heard, and supported.
