  • We are committed to professional development, and you’ll have the opportunity to work with talented editors who will help you grow and fine-tune your skills.


This position is responsible for using social monitoring tools to stay on top of daily news and trending developments, crafting headlines with SEO best practices in mind, identifying and reporting timely stories and follow ups, identifying and reporting on emerging and trending news stories, prioritizing stories based on urgency, newsworthiness and interest of MLive audience and studying analytics performance to understand the types of stories that most appeal to readers and incorporating that knowledge into regular coverage that will expand our readership and subscription base.

The base salary range is $56,000 to $65,000 per year.

What we’ll expect from you:

  • Degree in journalism, English or communications, or related field preferred, or a combination of equivalent education and experience
  • Minimum 2 years’ journalism experience with a proven ability in reporting and writing and using social media skills, including being on camera.
  • Ability to identify and develop important stories that resonate with everyday residents.
  • Familiarity or willingness to learn new tools and software, including our content management system for publishing stories and photographs.
  • Ability to tell stories in smart and engaging ways and a willingness to experiment in different storytelling forms.
