The Mason City Globe Gazette seeks a talented and accurate reporter who can apply their skills as a curious and colorful writer to our Public Safety beat. We're looking for someone who can respond quickly and accurately to news as it develops and who can dig deep and ask tough questions as a community watchdog. You'll also have the opportunity to write general assignment and feature stories.

Experience as a daily newspaper reporter is preferred. Social media and mobile reporting skills (photography, video, Facebook Live) are a must. So, what do you get? A close-knit, collegial newsroom with editors ready and willing to push you to do your best work. Some of the lowest living costs in the Midwest and a home less than a day's drive away from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City. Competitive wages, benefits, vacation time and a 401K are part of the package.

Please submit a resume, cover letter that explains what you'd do to develop sources and five of your best clips with your online application.
