The Daily Times in Farmington, New Mexico, is looking for a government reporter.
Candidates should have the ability to turn a breaking news story quickly both for our website and on social media and for the next-day print product.
This is a busy beat that consistently produces front-page stories that drive significant online traffic. This person will write about budgets, campaign finances and the impacts of state policy on local governments.
