The Hickory Daily Record seeks a hard-charging, enterprising reporter to join its award-winning staff.
The HDR, a 15,000-circulation daily (20K on Sundays), needs a reporter who can cover breaking news, while also digging deeper into enterprise and investigative stories that affect the community.
The ideal candidate will have experience at a daily newspaper, but candidates with extensive college experience (school newspaper/internships) or reporters looking to make the jump from a smaller community newspaper are encouraged to apply.
Hickory, N.C., is a city of about 40,000 people, and the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton metro area has a population base of 365,000 people. The HDR is owned by Berkshire Hathaway’s World Media Enterprises (led by investor Warren Buffett). The opportunity for advancement exists for a talented journalist.
Interested candidates should email a cover letter, resume and 5-10 clips (we’re looking for enterprise, breaking news and well-crafted features) to sbryan@hickoryrecord.com, or snail mail to Hickory Daily Record, Attn: Editor, P.O. Box 968, Hickory, NC, 28603-0968.
No phone calls, please.
