Your job will be to build strong connections between our work and the community we serve. We picture you posing important questions to our audience and building stories off their responses — not just lists of feedback, but reported, fact-checked enterprise stories that matter to this region and sometimes create change.

You’ll write our popular weekly newsletter, using it and social media to shape the station’s news voice. We’ll make a bunch of channels available for you to connect with the public. This job could also entail building in-person events with support from our outreach team. And we want to hear your ideas. We’re the kind of shop that likes to try new things that have purpose.
We are a well-supported organization, highly valued by our community and excelling against the headwinds of the media industry. We think the way forward involves a robust dialogue with the community — and strong enterprise journalism that respects their intelligence, boosts their awareness and reflects their love for the place they call home.
Speaking of the place we call home: IPR is located in northern Michigan which, if you’re unfamiliar, is utterly stunning with some of the nation’s most scenic and beautiful outdoor opportunities, as well as a vibrant arts and culture community. We are on the campus of Interlochen Center for the Arts, which has been an epicenter of arts education for the world since 1928.
