We are seeking an experienced journalist to join Stock & Land’s editorial team. The successful candidate will report on issues important to Victorian farmers, from politics to livestock markets, for both our print and online audiences. An understanding of agriculture and regional Victoria and/or experience in the agriculture industry would be seen as highly valuable, but not essential. This role can be based anywhere in Victoria, with ACM offices in Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, Wodonga and Warrnambool, and also the option to work from home.
The role’s key responsibilities:

  • Gathering, writing and self-editing news stories for publication in both print and online

  • Building relationships with new and existing audience members to help in your ability to source stories
  • Attending, reporting on and representing the masthead at sales, conferences and other events, including the Melbourne Royal Show, the Australian Sheep & Wool Show and the iconic Mountain Calf Sales in Victoria’s high country

The ideal candidate:

  • An industry professional with at least three years’ experience in either journalism or agriculture
  • Someone with a high attention to detail who is self-motivated and organised
  • Someone with good time management skills to help meet important deadlines
  • A good communicator who is happy to network with new people
  • Someone with a valid driver’s licence

What’s in it for you? The perks

Be part of Australia’s leading independent regional and rural media business, with more than 160 trusted mastheads reaching an audience of millions of people across every state and territory

  • Flexible work arrangements, for example the opportunity to start early/finish early
  • Flexible work location from one of the many Victorian offices or the option to work from home
  • Generous salary package
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Equipment including a laptop, camera and iPhone
  • You will be encouraged to spend time on the road, travelling the state, seeing incredible sights and meeting some of the country’s best farmers, with all travel expenses paid for by the company

If you have any questions about this role, please contact Stock & Land editor Joely Mitchell on joely.mitchell@stockandland.com.au or 0419 035 039.
