Description:

NancyonNorwalk.com (NoN) is an award-winning, non-profit, hyperlocal news service focused on how Norwalk "works" for its residents. Our focus is on government, education policy and land use but are working to expand coverage. We’re looking for energetic, curious, community-oriented freelance reporters to expand our mission to shine a nonpartisan light on the issues and decisions that impact city residents’ lives, pocketbooks, and safety. Based on experience and how well you do freelancing for us, part-time work is a possibility.

Are you interested in how local government functions? Can you listen in on a meeting and dig out the key points? Ask good questions? Are you an experienced journalist? And most of all, can you explain those things in writing, clearly and on a deadline?

If so please send your resume with a cover note and links to writing samples to jobs@nancyonnorwalk.com.

Experience is preferred, but let’s talk. The position has potential to become full-time for the right candidate.

Responsibilities

• Attend city government and other meetings, in person and/or virtually, and determine what’s newsworthy in what was said and done by officials and members of the public.

• Contact, interview and sources as needed to get the story behind the story of what’s going on in Norwalk’s government and community.

• Tackle assignments from NoN editors as well as generate your own ideas for interesting, compelling stories.

• Stay up to date with the latest local current events in the “beat” by studying papers, attending events etc.

Requirements and skills

• Proven working experience as a reporter is preferred

• Proficiency with software including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace and Wordpress. 

• Excellent oral and written communication skills
