IDAHO FALLS — East Idaho News is growing and we’re looking for some incredible people to join our team. We’re looking to hire two full-time reporters in Pocatello, an administrative assistant in Idaho Falls (a newly created position!) and paid freelance writers who live anywhere in eastern Idaho. EastIdahoNews.com is the #1 news website in eastern Idaho, according to Simliar Web rankings. Since we launched in 2015, we’ve had over 600 million pageviews with millions of users from around the world. We are locally owned, based in Idaho Falls and have former TV, newspaper and radio journalists working to bring the best news coverage to our audience every day. We have over 147,000 followers on Facebook and more than 282,000 YouTube subscribers. We’ve won dozens of awards – including a national Edward R. Murrow award – and our work is often featured on other websites and television programs. FULL-TIME POCATELLO MULTIMEDIA JOURNALIST – TWO POSITIONS We need an innovative multimedia journalist who will work with our existing reporter in the Pocatello area to help us grow. You’ll need to have strong news judgment and excellent writing, video and communication skills. You will be based in the Pocatello/Chubbuck area – a short drive from Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole, ski resorts, rivers, streams and over 10,000 acres of sand dunes. We move fast at East Idaho News so you’ll need to be able to juggle multiple assignments while working independently from home. You’ll mainly focus on crime and court reporting but will cover other things too. It helps if you know WordPress, Adobe Suite programs and video editing software but if you don’t, they’re easy to learn. And you’ve got to be active on social media. Our ideal candidate will have at least two years of newsroom experience, but don’t let that hold you back if you think you have what it takes. You’ll generally work daytime hours Monday through Friday. Occasionally you’ll be asked to cover something at night or on the weekends, but that’s rare. You’ll get every major holiday off, have a free family gym membership, excellent health insurance, generous PTO, 401(k) match, a cell phone stipend and every Christmas, we help a Secret Santa give away $1 million.
