The Wyoming Tribune Eagle, the capital citys longest-running and most trusted media organization, is looking for a dynamic journalist with a strong interest in breaking news and crime/public safety coverage, as well as education reporting, to serve in our Cheyenne newsroom.
Are you energized by breaking news stories first online, and then working to provide the deeper, broader context behind the event?
