What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Reporter position at Sol de Medianoche News?
Sol de Medianoche, Alaska’s bilingual newspaper, is looking for a part-time reporter to
cover local municipal and school board meetings, as well as feature stories and hard news
relevant to the Latino community.
Reporters are expected to submit a total of eight articles per month—this includes both
news stories and evergreen features. Each article should typically be 350 to 500 words in
length. Evergreen pieces are stories with lasting relevance, such as profiles, community
milestones, or resources that remain useful over time.
Ideal candidates will have at least one year of journalism experience (students are
welcome to apply), a strong ability to seek out and report compelling stories, and reside in
Anchorage. Spanish proficiency is preferred but not required.
Applicants should be comfortable with entry-level to mid-level photography and have
experience using social media to promote content and drive engagement.
All topics will be assigned during bi-weekly meetings with the news editor, ensuring
guidance and support throughout the reporting process. At Sol de Medianoche, you’ll
benefit from dedicated mentorship, valuable networking opportunities, and the rewarding
experience of amplifying Latino voices in Alaska.
To apply, send an email to info@soldemedianochenews.org with your resume, two writing
samples, and a brief paragraph explaining why you’re a great fit for this role. Candidates
can expect to hear back within two weeks of submitting their application.
