FOOD AND DRINK REPORTER(Everett, WA) Job at Sound Publishing, Inc.

Sound Publishing, Inc. Everett, WA 98204

The Daily Herald in Everett, Washington is seeking a reporter to continue growing our recently redesigned Food & Drink coverage. We’re looking for someone who can provide insight, context and analysis of the Snohomish County food scene. We want someone who can run with the brand we created but also make it their own and grow it even more.

This is a high-output job. The preferred applicant should be fast, accurate, ambitious, collaborative, self-sufficient and
detail-oriented, eager to take on assignments, and a clean and polished writer. They should approach each assignment with a digital-first mindset. This is not just writing restaurant reviews, though that is part of the job. We are looking for a reporter willing to immerse themselves in the local food and restaurant culture.

We have a super diverse restaurant scene here, from Korean hand-breaded chicken shops to Kurdish bakeries, so this reporter should be hungry to explore it all.
We want someone who can speak authoritatively about foods and profile interesting people. They should be as comfortable seeking public records as eating a bowl of bibimbap. This person is responsible for a weekly food and drink section that appears in the newspaper, providing digital content for our Snohomish Dish Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages and helping author our weekly Food and Drink newsletter. The reporter will maintain an active presence in the community and promote the stories they write and The Daily Herald brand. They also may host promotional events such as personal appearances, tastings, guest chef appearances and cooking demonstrations.

The ideal candidate should have at least two years’ experience writing for a daily newspaper or online publication and a track record of producing stories on a tight deadline. A background in food writing and/or a self-described “foodie” is preferred. More than anything else, we want someone excited about all things food and drink (trying, learning, cooking, etc.).

The Daily Herald with its website, HeraldNet.com, has been the leading news and information source in Snohomish County, Washington, for more than a century. We are in Everett, a vibrant and growing community 30 miles north of Seattle, framed by Puget Sound to the west and the Cascade Mountains to the east.

Wage for the position is $19-21 per hour depending on experience.
This is a full-time position that includes excellent benefits: medical, dental, life insurance, 401k, paid vacation, sick and holidays. EOE. No calls, please. To apply, please send the following to careers@soundpublishing.com , (1) a resume including at least three professional references; (2) three or more non-returnable relevant work samples in PDF or Text format (and/or a link to them); (3) a cover letter addressing the specific job requirements we’ve outlined, and (3) three references.
