Senior Reporter, The Concord Bridge

The Concord Bridge is on a mission to become a best-in-class community newspaper. We’re looking for a seasoned, versatile staff reporter to help us get there.

The ideal candidate will consistently deliver accurate, well-crafted pieces (think “Sunday stories,” even though we’re a weekly) in feature and news formats and work with our reporting staff and managing editor to craft timely, developed team packages.

In print and online, The Bridge punches far above its weight. We’re glad to bring our sophisticated readership stories that celebrate the community’s successes — and we are unflinching in our incisive accountability reporting.

If you can instinctively spot a story — or a hole in one — you’re the teammate we want.

We prefer candidates with at least five years of experience at a daily or weekly news outlet. The right person can come to Concord regularly to report in person and as needed for staff meetings, collaboration, and events. Some night and weekend work may be required based on our print production schedule.

Send a resume, cover letter, three clips, and salary requirement to jobs@concordbridge.org if your toolbox includes solutions and data-driven reporting, clean and compelling writing, comfort with Google Drive, WordPress, and social media, and a conviction that independent, non-profit journalism is the bright future of this business. 

The Concord Bridge is the non-profit, non-partisan newspaper of record of historic Concord, Massachusetts.
