Senior Reporter Jobs in Iowa

A Senior Reporter in the publishing industry plays a crucial role in researching, writing, and editing news stories or features. They often specialize in a particular field, such as politics, business, or sports. They are typically responsible for developing story ideas, conducting interviews, verifying information, and writing and editing articles in a compelling and accurate manner. Senior Reporters are also expected to maintain professionalism while dealing with sensitive or controversial issues and should possess excellent decision-making skills to determine the newsworthiness of events.

Experience in investigative reporting and a sound understanding of media law and ethics are also advantageous for this role. Some employers may prefer candidates with a certification from a recognized journalism body.
