County and Business Reporter - Casper, WY

The Casper Star-Tribune, the statewide voice of Wyoming with a reputation for original and enterprising journalism, is seeking an experienced journalist to report on our county government and business scene. We are looking for a reporter who is curious, can find the nugget that matters to our readers in dry meetings and get ahead of stories to help drive the state's agenda.

We are a close-knit newsroom with a collaborative environment. The Star-Tribune offers the opportunity to take a deeper dive into issues and work on larger enterprise pieces - whether investigative or feature stories.

Successful candidates will have a journalism degree and experience. However, we will consider new graduates who have completed internships or have experience at a college newspaper.

The ability to report in today's instant digital news environment is critical. The right person will be a self-starter, willing to jump in and find the stories that our readers value. Candidates must have a flexible schedule and be able to work nights and weekends as needed. A valid driver's license and proof of insurance is required.

This is a Guild position with pay starting at $40,000 annually.
