This position will provide coverage for our flagship newspaper, The Daily Gazette, and also our sister publications around the region. It’s based out of our main office in Schenectady, N.Y.
We’re seeking a motivated and energetic individual who can think creatively. We want a reporter who knows how to dig for a story and then dig a little deeper to reveal the whole truth. We also want a reporter who’s a skilled storyteller capable of spinning a yarn when the story calls for it.

Develop and maintain contacts and sources in the community.
Maintain an active social media presence to build our brand, stay on top of issues in the community and communicate with readers/sources/officials.
Think visually — Assign photographs/video to support daily reporting and, when necessary, shoot photographs and video when out reporting.
Identify and pitch bigger perspective stories and packages for Sunday spreads.
Candidates should also have the following:
A proven knowledge and experience working with current media-creation tools and contemporary newsroom systems
Fluency with New York state’s Freedom of Information Law.
