WANTED: A WRITER–EDITOR WHO GIVES A DAMN

Description:

If you believe local journalism still matters — really matters — this might be the best job you’ve never applied for.

The Glasgow Courier is looking for a Writing Editor who wants more than a desk job. We want someone who wants to own a beat, shape coverage, tell real stories and be part of a newsroom that sits at the center of its community.

This is not a stepping-stone job where you clip press releases and count the days. This is a chance to be the voice helping define northeastern Montana.

What You’ll Do

Report, write, and edit stories that people actually read — and argue about at the coffee shop

Shape weekly coverage of local government, schools, courts, business, agriculture and community life

Edit copy with a sharp eye and high standards (accuracy matters here)

Be visible in the community — because the best stories don’t come by email

Who You Are

A strong writer who knows how to report, not just rewrite

An editor who can improve copy without sanding off its edge

Curious, fair-minded and allergic to bullshit

Comfortable working independently and making judgment calls

Someone who likes knowing the names — and stories — of the people they write about

Why This Job Is Different

Your work matters. This paper is still read cover-to-cover.

You’ll have a voice. Editorial judgment isn’t buried under layers of corporate nonsense.

You’ll live well. Glasgow offers affordable housing, short commutes and wide open spaces under that Big Montana Sky.

You’ll belong. This newsroom is locally controlled and rooted in the community it serves. No corporate BS.

 The Perks

Competitive pay for rural Montana from $50,000+ d.o.e.

Full-time position with stability

A newsroom that values quality over clicks

A place where journalism is still a public service, not content churn

If you’re tired of shrinking corporate newsrooms, hollow mission statements and jobs that feel disposable — come help us do it right.

Apply by sending a resume, clips, and a short note telling us why local journalism still matters to you to glasgowmtcourier@gmail.com.
