Description:

Here’s your chance to report news that people want to read in a place that wants to do it right, all in an up-and-coming city that remains surprisingly affordable. 

The Lima News and LimaOhio.com have an opening for a reporter covering Lima and Allen County. This isn’t just coverage of government meetings, but it’s considering the people, businesses and organizations that make our community thrive. 

We’re open to someone just breaking into the business who might benefit from coaching by veteran editors or to an experienced reporter who wants to help us reinvent how we tell people the news that’s relevant to them. 

We’re an award-winning newspaper in West Central Ohio that just received another General Excellence first-place award in our state’s contest. We value accuracy, diversity and urgency in everything we do. We're looking for the right mix of inquisitive, creative and practical to help us remain a must-read for our news-savvy audience. 

Lima is a great place to live. It’s in the midst of a renaissance, with more transformational developments throughout the city in the past 10 years than in the 25 before that. So is The Lima News, which is ready for a rebirth of its own while remaining the dominant news-gathering operation in the region.  

Send your resume, cover letter and at least three writing samples to David Trinko, Editor; The Lima News; 205 W. Market St., Suite 100B; Lima, OH 45801; or dtrinko@limanews.com.
