Job: Military Reporter – Wilmington, Del.

The News Journal, a statewide daily in Delaware, has an immediate opening for an experienced military reporter who can cover a beat locally, regionally and nationally. The beat includes Dover Air Force Base, several National Guard and reserve units and the burgeoning Aberdeen Proving Ground, just over the line in Maryland. The right candidate must be able to craft compelling narratives woven with details from ground level as well as statistical depth readers can’t get anywhere else. Candidates must be able to publish in a 24/7 digital environment, where breaking news, tweets, blog posts, video interviews and online updates are a regular part of the job. Delaware is a great place to live, just 20 minutes from Philadelphia, 90 minutes from Baltimore and 2 hours from Washington, D.C. and New York City. Delaware beaches are among the best on the East Coast. Send a resume and clips to Local Editor Phil Freedman at pfreedman@delawareonline.com.
