  • One Big Whale
  • Petoskey, MI

Job Description

I'm an editor launching a new (online) project, and I'm looking for one incredible reporter to produce one or two stories per month on an ongoing, freelance basis.

In this role, you'll research and report evergreen and semi-evergreen stories related to the people, places and events of Northern Michigan, with an emphasis on Petoskey and Emmet County.

Because this involves local, on-the-ground reporting, I'm looking for someone who lives in — or regularly travels to — Emmet, Charlevoix, Antrim or Grand Traverse county.

*** QUALIFICATIONS ***

  • You're an outstanding, detail-oriented reporter who loves peeling back the layers of a story to get as close as possible to the truth.
  • You're curious, and you aren't afraid to ask tough questions.
  • You write with empathy. Ideally, you're familiar with both investigative and narrative journalism.
  • You love Northern Michigan, but you know it isn't perfect.

My ideal candidate has worked as a journalist or is studying journalism. However, I'm open to hearing from writers with other types of experience. But please keep in mind that original reporting will be required for this role.

*** HOW TO APPLY ***

Email me (Jim) via jim@onebigwhale.com. Tell me a little bit about yourself, your background and your interest in this role. If you've published work, send one or two of your best samples.

Pay is $250 to $500 per story , depending on the amount of reporting required.
