**Index-Journal Greenwood, South Carolina**
The Greenwood (S.C.) Index-Journal, a small, family-owned daily newspaper, wants to grow its base of talented, energetic and aggressive staff writers to join its award-winning team. If government reporting is your passion, then youll want to be considered for this position, covering Greenwood city and county, plus state lawmakers. And no, its not all government reporting. Youll have the opportunity to crank out features and non-government centerpiece stories.
Were not a major metro, but we do have a hard-working staff that has surpassed the typical parameters of a small daily. And being a family-owned newspaper means we dont have the layers of corporate executives to wade through.
Candidates should be able to dig into local reporting on all levels and should not be afraid to ask the tough questions. Thats the kind of reporting that garners awards from your peers and accolades from the readers you serve.
Maybe you just came off a successful awards year yourself on a strong weekly paper. Perhaps you have graduated from J-school and are eager to start collecting your own stacks of plaques, but you find fewer opportunities now, perhaps because of the pandemic or the ongoing trimming of newsrooms across the nation. Well, we are hiring. Sure, the pandemic took a toll on us, but we recognize that without solid content theres no news in a newspaper.
