The Record (Bergen County, NJ) has an immediate opening for a full-time Reporter II rewriter. They’re looking for a skilled writer who can respond immediately when a big story breaks –
fulfilling all manner of roles that include taking feeds from reporters in the field to weave into a definitive account or contributing to that coverage through interviews, research and contacts.
They need someone who is adept at handling an array of overnight assignments, both big and small, sometimes juggling several at once. A sense of urgency, speed, strong news judgment and a truly collaborative nature are key. So, too, is the ability to stay on top of news in both North Jersey and New Jersey so that he or she can jump into a developing story without missing a beat. And for those times when news isn’t hopping, we want someone who can find strong enterprise story ideas and execute them with
flair and depth. A minimum of three years of daily reporting experience, or the equivalent, is required.
Days/Hours: Sunday-Thursday, afternoon and night hours
