Get Involved with News Northwest
Keeping your eyes on a city is work.
With a growing population of more than a million residents, the Portland metro area has literally thousands of interesting and crucial daily events and decisions that affect at least one person. And in some instances, hundreds of accompanying documents, personal accounts, videos, and numbers that journalists – even at fully staffed news outlets– spend hours, days, weeks and months reviewing.
Right now, were looking for full-time and as-needed staff, story ideas, and donations.
If you interested in getting involved in any of these ways email us and keep checking the site for more opportunities
Join the News NW coverage team
Are you a trained journalist, documentary filmmaker/photographer, media/web guru?
We need full and part-time people to help write, record, edit, and create original reporting to document and explain Portland, Or.
We also need talented writers, photographers, and media experts to help as needed by going on assignments and occasionally lending an extra set of eyes and ears for creating our large explanatory projects and guides.
Do you have a story idea, hot tip, or suggestion?
Often times news outlets get their stories from people in the community who know something that they don't.
From whistleblowers disgusted by their employer to grandmothers who've been fighting with the city over potholes, ordinary citizens can be a journalist's greatest ally.
Being a reader you can help us out in many ways, be it through a hot news tip, telling us about an event, or letting us know that we missed an important piece of information, you don't need to be a journalist to contribute to quality journalism.
We'll even be looking to you, our readers, for the answers and information we need to create some of our explanatory journalism projects.
Donate or buy an ad.
Our aim is to be a non-profit news organization funded by both advertising and donations. By buying advertising or making a donation you will be funding local explanatory journalism.
You'll be financing database and web subscriptions, freelancing fees,equipment, and stipends so that our staff can afford to focus on creating the journalism that will define this site.
Again, contact us and keep checking the site for more opportunities.
