Job Description

Journalist, Newcastle Weekly + Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle

n

Newcastle Weekly and Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle are continuing to grow, and we're looking for a driven and talented journalist to join our dynamic editorial team. This is a full-time position that plays a crucial role in shaping our content strategy, delivering compelling stories to our audience and is excited by the way journalism is evolving across print, digital, social and video.

n

Behind both publications is Supply Media, a marketing and creative agency that has played a central role in the growth and evolution of the business over the past four years. That broader agency mindset has helped Newcastle Weekly and Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle strengthen their brands, grow their audiences and create recent opportunities across content, digital, social, events and commercial partnerships.

n

The successful applicant will be joining more than a traditional newsroom. You'll be part of a forward-thinking independent media business where editorial, creative strategy,



community and commercial thinking work together to build strong and highly engaged local brands.

n

Newcastle Weekly is a free independent news publication serving the Hunter with local news, sport, business, property, events and community stories.

n

Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle is our premium lifestyle masthead, celebrating the people, places, homes, food, wine and experiences that shape Newcastle, the Hunter and surrounding regions.

n

We're looking for a journalist who can find strong local stories, build contacts, conduct interviews and produce engaging content across both publications.

n

Digital storytelling will form a significant part of our continued growth, so the right person will have a genuine interest in creating content beyond the written word, including social media, video and pieces to camera.

n

You'll be curious, organised and comfortable working to deadlines, with the ability to move between breaking local news and longer-form lifestyle storytelling.
