August 27, 2019
The Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service is looking for a part-time multimedia reporter who is ready to set the journalism world on fire.
Help us cover Milwaukee’s diverse central city neighborhoods and, most important, the people who live in them.
Are you a self-starter? Can you juggle several stories at once? Are you passionate about telling stories about people and issues other media ignore or under-report? And can you do all of this in a collaborative, creative nonprofit newsroom that is relentless in serving its audience? If you answered yes to all these questions, then the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service could be a fit for you.
We are an award-winning, evidence-based news organization housed in the Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University. We are editorially independent from the university and have a paid part-time staff of five and a brilliant cohort of community volunteers and student interns. Our work is regularly republished in local media, including Urban Milwaukee and OnMilwaukee. In addition, we have partnerships with WTMJ (Channel 4), the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, WUWM-FM (89.7) and The Associated Press, where our work regularly reaches audiences across the state and the nation. We champion great journalism and believe in “proceeding until apprehended.”
