The Lake Erie Times is a rapidly growing independent news organization dedicated to the people, places, and politics of the Lake Erie region. We believe that local journalism is a public service, and we are looking for dedicated individuals to help us build the most trusted news source in the area.
We are currently seeking local voices who are passionate about their community. You don’t need 20 years of experience; you just need a sharp eye, a dedicated work ethic, and a love for the Lake Erie region.
Freelance Journalists: Do you have a lead on a local story? We are looking for contributors to cover everything from city council meetings to high school sports.
Photojournalists: Help us capture the beauty and the breaking news of the shoreline.
Community Insiders: If you are deeply involved in local events, non-profits, or the arts, we want your perspective.
Student Interns: We offer a platform for aspiring journalists to build a professional portfolio and gain real-world experience in a digital-first newsroom.
Impact: Your work will be read by your neighbors and will directly influence the local conversation.
Flexibility: As a digital-first outlet, we offer the ability to contribute on a schedule that works for you.
Growth: Be a part of the foundation of a new era for local media in the Lake Erie region.
While we are currently focusing on freelance and contributory roles, we are always looking for talent in the following areas:
Local Government Reporter (Freelance/Contract)
Weekend Events Correspondent (Freelance)
Digital Media & Social Coordinator (Internship)
