  • Build strong contacts for story-gathering within local communities
  • Be active on social media, in line with partnership policies, to build audiences and communities
  • Ensure all content produced has suitable metadata attached
  • Deliver live coverage as and when required
  • Provide two-way interviews for broadcast media as and when required
  • Provide monthly report on key issues and themes from public authorities for stakeholder media organisations
  • Have ideas for off-diary investigations that look at issues not necessarily covered in the calendar of council meetings

Key Experience / Characteristics:

  • Good writing skills, up-to-date legal knowledge, shorthand proficiency (eg 100 wpm)

  • A minimum of two years’ experience as a reporter in a daily news environment and/or working to daily news deadlines
