Full job description

Description

The Greenock Telegraph is looking for a driven Live Reporter to join our fast‑paced newsroom, which also works in collaboration with several weekly Ayrshire and West Scotland news brands.

You’ll be at the heart of our breaking news operation – reacting fast, filing clean copy at speed and helping us reach and engage a large online audience every day. The best of this content will also be developed for our print publications.

Key Responsibilities

Work as part of the live team on a number of news websites, producing breaking and trending news across our website and social platforms.
File multiple stories a day to a high standard, with sharp headlines and engaging intros.
Run live blogs on major incidents, weather events, traffic disruption, courts and council as required.
Attend breaking news scenes, capture multi-media content, and conduct interviews.
Hit ambitious digital page view and subscription targets.
Help manage and update the homepage and key section fronts.
Publish and promote content across social channels, write engaging posts and monitor performance.
Use real‑time analytics to shape coverage and spot opportunities to grow audience.
Use AI technology to assist you in this role.
Ensure all content complies with media law and the IPSO Editors’ Code.

This is a full‑time, office‑based role in our Greenock newsroom.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

NCTJ-qualified, studying towards NCTJ qualifications, or equivalent experience.
Experience in a newsroom, student publication, journalism placement or equivalent environment is desirable.
Confident covering breaking news on the ground, including video.
Comfortable running live blogs and developing multiple stories at once.
Strong digital instincts – you understand what makes a story perform online and how to craft engaging headlines and social posts.
A self‑starter with excellent news sense and plenty of ideas.
A team player who can take direction, respond to feedback and thrive in a busy newsroom.
Confident on camera, with the ambition to build a strong personal profile as a trusted local reporter.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so early submissions are encouraged. This is an entry-level role which would suit someone looking to kick-start their career in journalism.
