The Port Arthur News is searching for a versatile reporter with strong writing and communication skills to become our next general assignment reporter.
We are looking for someone whose idea of story generation goes beyond rewriting press releases and one-source stories. We need someone who is capable of localizing national stories, recognizing and explaining community trends and putting a face on the issues currently impacting the community.
Port Arthur and surrounding communities are a hotbed of news. Massive industrial expansions, environmental activists, strong music scene and musical heritage, ethnic diversity all make this a prime area for storytelling.
