The Coloradoan seeks a talented journalist capable of covering multiple topics on multiple mediums. We seek someone nimble enough to cover a court case in the morning and a wildfire in the afternoon. Someone who can independently dig in on a single topic, or lend a hand to a fellow reporter in a pinch. Strong video production skills are required for this position and familiarity with reporting on social platforms is desired. As our audience develops and evolves we seek to meet them where they are at and where they consume their news, and a qualified candidate is someone who understands this and can demonstrate a track record of publishing news to a variety of platforms in a variety of formats. The Coloradoan values innovation and collaboration, and a good candidate will bring both to this role. When applying, please provide examples of your writing, photography, videography and any other applicable materials that demonstrate your ability to meet the demands of modern journalism.
