Openings in Newspapers/Wires

The Beaumont Enterprise, circulation 32,000, is the six-largest Hearst newspaper and third-largest in Texas. We’ve groomed journalists for metro papers all over the country, including sister papers in Houston (90 miles west), San Antonio and San Francisco.

The ideal candidate will have good communication and organization skills. He/She puts the reader at the center of the equation, not just telling them what happened but how it happened and why they should care. It takes stamina, creativity and flexible thinking to succeed here. We are looking for reporters, not recorders.

Because changing a centuries-old industry can be tiring, a sense of humor doesn’t hurt either.

The Enterprise is a progressive, collaborative news operation focused on giving readers content that’s impactful and innovative. Our print product has been redesigned to showcase local stories with more context while our website (which averages more than 1.2 million page views a week) keeps readers up-to-date in real time.

 Beaumont is 90 miles from Houston and four hours from New Orleans.
