Be the voice of a community. Report with purpose. Grow with Hearst.
Join a newsroom where your reporting truly matters. At the Midland Daily News, we don’t just chase headlines — we shine a light on what matters most to our community. We're looking for an energetic, curious, and driven City Reporter who’s ready to dig deep, break stories, and capture the pulse of local government, politics, and community life in Midland, Bay City, and the surrounding Great Lakes Bay Region.
This is more than a job. It’s your chance to be part of a fast-paced, collaborative newsroom that values storytelling, integrity, and innovation — and yes, we like to have fun while doing it.
You’ll own the local government and community beat — keeping readers informed, engaged, and inspired. Whether it’s covering breaking news, digging into public records, or crafting long-form features, you’ll produce impactful journalism that resonates across digital and print platforms.
We believe journalism is a team sport. That’s why you’ll work in a collaborative, mentorship-driven newsroom with real opportunities for growth — all while helping shape the future of local news.
