General Assignment, Criminal Justice, Public Safety Reporter

The Keene Sentinel, an award-winning locally owned newspaper in New Hampshire’s picturesque Monadnock Region, is looking for a general assignment/criminal justice/public safety reporter to join its team.

Family owned and continuously operating since 1799, The Sentinel blends a long legacy of people-first journalism with a spirit of innovation, as a digital-first operation using multimedia (audio/podcasts, video, etc.) to diversify our storytelling beyond the printed page. At The Sentinel, you’ll find a deeply collaborative, supportive work environment that emphasizes mentorship. Our forward-focused approach extends past the media we use to the critical look we’re taking at outdated journalistic practices and – while maintaining top-tier ethical standards – our efforts to evolve beyond them.

As a GA/criminal justice/public safety reporter, you will play a key role in this ongoing transformation, continuing to shift our traditional “cops and courts” beat to one more driven by data and more geared to examining the criminal justice system, questioning law-enforcement officials and holding them accountable.

What we are looking for:

Excellent writing skills, and some news-writing experience (whether professional or via a college newspaper, internship or other published work)
Curiosity; someone who isn’t afraid to follow a hunch, reach deeper and doesn’t take what authority figures say at face value
The interest and capacity to stretch, whether new to journalism or further in one’s career
Strong time management skills – the ability to produce daily content while also working on larger, enterprise pieces
