Seeking smart, energetic community reporters

Description:

Beaver Dam Partners Inc. is seeking talented, energetic, multi-media reporters for our four free community newspapers and associated websites on the South Coast of Massachusetts.

The ideal candidate will:

-- Be a concise, clean, engaging writer who is energized by the fast pace of the news business and the opportunity to turn around lots of stories quickly.

-- Have a journalism degree and/or some professional news reporting experience.

-- Be able to take and edit eye-catching news and feature photos. (Video and other audio-visual presentation skills are better yet!)

-- Enjoy becoming part of a community, talking with strangers, calling officials who may (or may not) want to talk to you, chatting up people at a community event.

-- Be ready to report and write stories about everything local: Municipal meetings, schools, police, courts, sports, arts, interesting people, community events, etc. You don't have to know a lot about any specific subject going in -- but you must possess the willingness and enthusiasm to learn!

-- Be organized, efficient and able to work well independently and in a small team.

-- Have some experience using InDesign.

-- Be willing to relocate to the South Coast of Massachusetts.
