Reporter

Description:

Our northwest Oregon communities of Astoria, Cannon Beach, Seaside and Warrenton are exceptional. See the New York Times’ most recent stories about us: tinyurl.com/NYT-Astoria-36-hours and tinyurl.com/NYT-Astoria-OR. We’re legendary and getting better all the time. This is a fantastic place to live.
This is your chance to join the adventure at The Astorian, the heart of our communities since 1873. We’ll love hearing what you can bring to our great newspaper, a 2026 General Excellence winner. Already live here? So much the better: You’ll know Chief Comcomly and be able to debate who has the best local salmon and craft brew.

Our ideal reporter:
A curious person excited about delving into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most lively, scenic, historic and creative places.
A polished newsy who loves getting to know people and quickly mastering subjects, ready to have fun with colorful coastal life, and excited about pursuing complex stories wherever they lead.
A collaborative professional ready to hit the ground running in Astoria and cover all of Clatsop County, Oregon — a place of limitless fascination for centuries.
An innovator in all the ways to tell these stories. We want someone devoted to newspapers who is comfortable with digital and social media in all its forms, able to take news photos and video, and build relationships with folks in person and online.
