The Beaumont Enterprise is looking for a dynamic reporter looking to dig into the Southeast Texas community and cover the stories our readers most want to know. And we give extra points for innovation – not only covering those stories, but also telling them in a way that draws in readers.

You’re covering the racially, economically and politically diverse community of more than 250,000 people. That means you’re taking the time to get to know them and what’s important to them and using that information to further your reporting.

You’re using all the tools at your disposal to reach those audiences. So, you need a command of social media, an eye for gathering and disseminating information quickly and accurately and a desire to use your smart phone as a reporting tool.

We’re looking for a reporter with a focus on government or business, but you’ll also have the freedom to cover more than just that. Some days you could profile a local artist, others you’ll cover the environmental and human cost of the petrochemical industry while still others you could chronicle the vibe at a community event.
