News Reporter

The Daily Iowegian in Centerville is seeking a full-time news reporter to join its award-winning staff.

This reporter will compliment the Daily Iowegian’s watchdog focus, reporting on local education, businesses and more.

We seek someone who is curious, a strong writer and learner, and determined to produce important journalism. A recent college graduate or someone with a few years of experience would be well-suited for this position. The Daily Iowegian offers great opportunity for reporters to grow in a variety of subjects and mediums.

This reporter will go from reporting feature stories on local people to producing important watchdog packages that either hold governments accountable or further educate readers on trends and happenings in their community. Our newsroom gives the freedom to be able to pursue projects you're interested in that go beyond the day-to-day responsibilities.

The Iowegian has a marked history in creating important, award-winning journalism despite its status as a small southern Iowa newspaper.

In the last year, the newspaper has reported on news that took honors on a statewide and national scale, facing outlets more than 100 times its size. The Iowegian’s watchdog reporting on local government consistently earns honors.

A college-degree is not required. On-the-job experience preferred but we’ll train the person who is eager to learn and succeed in the field.

Interested candidates should email their resume and writing samples to Daily Iowegian editor Kyle Ocker by email at kocker@dailyiowegian.com.
