Reporter Job at M. Roberts Media, LLC
The Victoria Advocate, a paper with a rich history of providing our community with award-winning news, seeks a talented multimedia reporter to grow and improve our coverage in South Texas. Are you a reporter with a proven track record of proactively developing sources, pursuing leads and seeking out interviews with key decision makers? Are you adept at photography and videography using a phone and DSLR? Are you able to recognize potential stories and write content that will engage readers? If you are, the Victoria Advocate may be the place for you.
In this role you will be able to apply your skills as a curious and dedicated writer and photographer. You must be able to respond quickly and accurately to news as it develops; to dig deep and ask tough questions; and to develop sources on a high-profile beat. Sports photography is definitely a part of this beat.
So, what do you get? If you have the talent and drive, we’ll tailor your assignments to meet your interest when possible. You’ll work with a close-knit, collegial newsroom of editors ready and willing to mentor you and other journalists to show you the ropes. We’ll help you develop your social media and mobile reporting skills (photography, video, Facebook Live). You’ll learn how to use analytics as a tool to help inform coverage.
You’ll enjoy living in or near Victoria, the largest city in the Crossroads region. You’ll enjoy our low cost of living while being just 30 minutes away from Gulf Coast beaches. If you like outdoor activities, you’ll have easy access to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, kayaking, canoeing, and hiking trails. Victoria is conveniently located in South Texas, just a couple of hours away from Houston, Austin, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio, making weekend getaways to the big city convenient whenever the mood strikes you.
