Job Description

The newsroom is seeking an experienced, versatile and passionate full-time journalist to produce hard-hitting and compelling stories about a variety of issues and topics important to the residents and visitors of the islands.

Applicants must: • Have at least 3-5 years of experience in professional journalism with an emphasis on news writing, general assignment/enterprise reporting and feature writing. (A bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications or a related field is a plus). • Be able to produce quality stories and meet deadlines. • Be able to cultivate sources and come up with story ideas. • Be proficient in AP style and Wordpress • Be proficient in social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X) • Be adequate at photography. (Video skills are a plus) • Live on Maui or be willing to relocate
The Hawaiʻi Journalism Initiative offers competitive salaries and full benefits, which include medical, dental and vision coverage, paid vacation time and sick leave. Starting pay is based on experience.
The Hawai’i Journalism Initiative also is looking for freelancers. Compensation is paid per story, with the amount based on the difficulty and time required.
Candidates should send a cover letter, resumé and at least five clips to news@hjinow.org .
