Description:

Blue Ridge Public Radio (BPR), the nonprofit public media organization serving Western North Carolina, is seeking a General Assignment Reporter.

We're looking for a curious, collaborative multimedia journalist to help our audiences understand the issues, people, culture and communities shaping life in Western North Carolina. You'll cover a wide range of stories across the Asheville metropolitan area, build trusted source relationships, and produce journalism that informs, engages and reflects the region we serve.

At BPR, you will work across platforms and are encouraged to pursue stories that matter to our communities. While much of this role focuses on daily news reporting, the General Assignment Reporter will have the opportunity to develop enterprise and longform stories as you build expertise and source networks throughout the region.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working on deadline, eager to generate story ideas, and committed to collaborating with editors to strengthen reporting, writing, and audio and digital storytelling.

We welcome applicants with diverse experiences and perspectives who can help us strengthen our coverage and better serve our audiences.

Reporting to the News Director, you'll produce journalism for broadcast radio, digital platforms, social media, and emerging formats. You'll pitch and report stories, collaborate with colleagues across the newsroom, and work efficiently in a deadline-driven environment.
