Job Description

Grays Harbor and North Pacific counties present a journalist\xe2\x80\x99s dream job at The Daily World.
Report on early Washington state history in timber, rail and seafaring (and the first hotel established in Washington state); three vibrant Native American tribes; a homelessness and drug problem; tough demographics which also make living in rural Grays Harbor more affordable than most places, even along the coast; grunge (the home of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana and The Melvins); lavish living (Ocean Shores and Seabrook); fishing ports that lead the region in harvesting crab, salmon and halibut; both Willapa and Grays Harbor bays, the Pacific Ocean (clamming, crabbing, fishing, riding horses on the beach, flying a kite, surfing, King tides); and a newsroom committed to doing it right.
Throw in the Olympic Peninsula and its waterfalls, rainforests and pristine forests and a journalist that embraces the outdoors will find home.
The Daily World, headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington, is searching far and wide for an individual with an appetite for storytelling, for digging for that last detail, for being a true reporter first, and a gifted writer to compliment that hard reporting.
Our next reporter will join a newsroom that leads the region in news coverage. We work hard, we play hard. We appreciate the journey. Sometimes we take the long way home.
The Daily World publishes four days a week, and also prints the quarterly Washington Coast Magazine, a high-quality all-glossy mag that covers the coast of Washington state, from Astoria to Neah Bay.
Resumes and clips should be sent via email to The Daily World Editor Michael Wagar at michael.wagar@thedailyworld.com.
