We have a strong focus on local news. Duties include reporting and writing on the city, county and public safety in addition to international news on the border as warranted. The reporter will write people-centered features, contribute to social media and newsletters and take photos and video. There is work over the border in our sister city of Nogales, Sonora, as needed.
