Journalists - Nub News

Nub News is looking for journalists to expand our coverage in Cheshire. 

We have two exciting roles available right now. 

The first is for a journalist to join our existing Macclesfield team to help expand our coverage in the town.

The second is for a journalist to help us launch a brand new online publication covering the town of Chester.

Nub News is an innovative media platform that gives its journalists the power to write their own stories and build their own audiences, on a patch where they live and work.

We are revolutionising local news and now have sites towns nationwide.

For both roles, we are looking for an energetic journalist to source and write stories for our sites which they will upload and manage.

For established journalists, Nub News is a chance to concentrate on writing proper local news stories that local people genuinely want to read.

For young reporters, we offer a unique opportunity to learn your trade – to find and publish credible local news on a respected digital platform.

Nub News sites don't rely on programmable ads so you won't have to publish 'clickbait content' that simply keeps readers on the site.

Instead, our journalists are expected to find original and exclusive, local news stories. They go out into their local communities and talk to people face-to-face.

So, we are looking for enthusiastic applicants who care about both their community and their journalism and who want to enjoy their work.

Find more information HERE.

Please submit your application for any of these positions, plus any supporting material including a CV, to our managing director James Smith at [email protected].
