We are recruiting journalists in Atherstone and beyond

WANTED: NEWS HOUNDS FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY

NUB News is looking to hire local news journalists across Warwickshire and Leicestershire to help cover our expansion into Atherstone and beyond.

If you are self-driven and passionate about local news, we want you.

Become part of a burgeoning company with 32 media platforms across England that is re-shaping local news – our mantra to put 'your town in your pocket'

Our existing team ranges from graduates straight out of university to experienced journalists with almost half a century in the business.

We are looking for enthusiastic news hounds that care about their job, care about their community and want to put the fun back into their work – without having to worry about clicks for every single story they write.

That's because we do not rely on Google advertisements and there isn't any need for clickbait to keep the reader on the site. That's a breath of fresh air for journalists.

We want our new recruits to get out into the local community. We do old-school journalism, getting back to the parish pump and meeting people face-to-face (when coronavirus allows).

We believe that's how you source the best stories.

"The Nub concept is a genuinely exciting new way of handling news and we need people who are going to bring the best out of themselves and others on this new frontier."

"I was fed up with the threat of redundancy and watching as local news became more and more diluted and centralised. Come and work for a news organisation looking to revolutionise local news."

"No more print deadlines holding you back, your articles not diluted by pop ups or surveys, just old-fashioned good quality journalism on a 24/7 platform built for the 21st century local news consumer."

"Nub News has allowed me a huge amount of freedom. I have been able try new things without fear of the consequences. Nub News is nimble and dynamic."

AREAS: While we are recruiting nationwide, we are particularly interested in quickly expanding in the following regions: Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cheshire, Suffolk, Essex, Somerset, South Wales, Devon and Cornwall, and Surrey.

If you know a town that you feel has been neglected by the consolidation and closures of local papers, then Nub News wants to be in that town.

Since arriving in Atherstone three months ago we have already seen the closure of the century-old town newspaper, with the editor pleading with its long-suffering readers to buy a Tamworth-named edition of the publication – leaving the town without a title to its name for the first time in 200 years.

We are looking for full-time employees. Your compensation will be made up of a competitive salary, annual bonus and participation in our share option scheme.

We want all our employees to benefit from the success of Nub News.
