The ideal candidate possesses at least one year of experience at a daily or weekly print publication. You must have high-volume, professional experience producing source-based news articles.

To clarify, this is a home-based, pay-per-article position, but we’re searching for reporters who are interested in producing multiple articles per week, every week. We will discuss compensation with those individuals whose skill and experience meets our specifications. Top performers may be considered for full-time employment. Up for the challenge?
