Description:

REPORTER -- ASTORIA, OR

Our ideal reporter:
• A curious person of any age excited about delving into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most lively, scenic, historic and creative places.
• A polished writer/storyteller who loves getting to know people and mastering subjects, able to have fun with colorful coastal life, and tough enough to pursue complex stories wherever they lead.
• A collaborative team member able to rise with and lift up our seven-member news team based in Astoria and covering all of Clatsop County, Oregon — a place of limitless stories and fascination for centuries.
• An innovator in all the ways to tell these stories. We want someone devoted to newspapers who is also comfortable with digital and social media in all its forms, able to take news photos and build relationships with folks in person and online.

Astoria, Cannon Beach, Seaside and Warrenton need no introduction. But in case you need to be sold on living here, see the most-recent New York Times story about us: tinyurl.com/NYT-Astoria-OR. 

Are we legendary and getting better all the time? Heck yes.
This is your chance to join the adventure at The Astorian, the heart of our communities since 1873. Whether you’ve been in the news business for decades or recently graduated, we’ll love hearing what you can bring to our great little newspaper. Already live in our area? So much the better: You’ll know Peter Iredale and be able to debate who has the best fish and chips.
