Reporter – Newsquest (Suffolk)
The East Anglian Daily Times and Ipswich Star are looking for a reporter to join our busy and friendly team.
We want an ambitious, digitally-skilled and versatile journalist to unearth the best breaking news and dig out the unusual and interesting in our beloved home patch.
The right candidate will be hard-working, full of ideas and relaxed telling stories in all ways across our various platforms. A big part of the job will also be immersing yourself in social media, building contacts and understanding what matters to the community.
