Job Description
Cool and lively Clatsop County is one of America's exceptional places. Please dive in and help shape its future by joining The Astorian's elite 152-year news tradition.
The Astorian is interested in everyone and everything in the diverse and fascinating communities surrounding spectacular Astoria. The possibilities are limitless - entrepreneurs pursuing lifetime dreams, Coast Guard crews rescuing fishermen out on the wild Pacific, scientists studying undersea volcanoes, providers designing a dynamic new model for rural healthcare, visual/performing/culinary/literary artists bringing passion to life. And on and on. This is a perfect place for any fully awake journalist.
The Astorian itself is in the midst of reimagining all we can be, with a strong focus on connecting with our neighbors. We're looking for reporter candidates as excited as we are about capturing the spirit of our scenic and historic communities. You must have unlimited curiosity, polished writing skills and a rigorous work ethic - brave enough to pursue challenging projects, and humble enough to cover classroom successes, summer festivals and convoluted local politics. Be confident in taking photos, maintaining an up-to-date social media presence, and challenging assumptions.
This is a glorious place to live and work. Lifestyle attractions include world-class pedestrian and water trails, dozens of miles of ocean and river beaches, amazing wildlife, and close proximity to Portland and Seattle. A major regional tourist destination, our population swells by tens of thousands on summer weekends. Bolstering our reputation as a center for historical/cultural/recreational tourism are Lewis and Clark National Park, Fort Stevens State Park, an expansive National Wildlife Refuge system, and easy access to surf breaks, secluded beaches and much more.
We're waiting to hear from you. Tell us how you'll work to become a key part of this legendary newspaper.
