News reporters are the Emerald’s first responders. They work relentlessly and passionately to inform the UO community on all things ASUO, UOPD, administration and beyond. When news breaks, they cover it. When UO students have questions, they turn to our news reporters to answer them. Reporters may work on long form, in-depth and investigative pieces as well as shorter breaking news stories.
Responsibilities include:
-
Pitch and write weekly anchor stories on deadline.
-
Work on large scale reporting projects.
-
Collaborate frequently with other reporters and desks.
-
Maintain regular breaking shift hours to keep an eye on community news.
-
Keep the pulse of the UO community and engage with the public by attending relevant community meetings and participating in open houses.
-
Attend weekly desk meetings and all-staff meetings.
