DESCRIPTION

The Hays, KS, operation at HaysPost.com and Eagle Radio has a rare opening for a News Reporter.

 

At Eagle, we believe a knowledgeable and engaged citizen base is integral to a vibrant and relevant community. Our ideal candidate understands the importance of building local relationships and providing important local news coverage to our region.

 

The Hays Post coverage footprint is large, and you will be integral in expanding our coverage into underserved communities. Your beat, among other daily duties, will be reporting on business, education, government, law enforcement and writing general features. Video and photography skills will put you ahead of the pack. Your writing will not only be featured on Hays Post, but broader stories are often featured on many of Eagle's other Post sites throughout Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Our local on-air radio news presence is also an integral part of our connection to the community. You’ll prepare and anchor daily newscasts on our four Eagle Radio stations and be available to cover breaking news and weather events.
