Freelance Writer

First, a little about us. EastIdahoNews.com is the #1 news website in eastern Idaho. Since we launched in 2015, we’ve had over 600 million pageviews by more than 50 million users around the world.

We are locally owned, based in Idaho Falls and have former TV, newspaper and radio journalists working to bring the best news coverage to our audience every day. We have over 173,000 followers on Facebook and more than 440,000 YouTube subscribers.

We don’t want to brag, but we’ve won dozens of awards – including a national Edward R. Murrow award. Our reporters’ work is often featured on other websites and television programs.

Whether you specialize in features, columns, politics, crime, courts, sports, history or hard news, we want to feature your work on our website.

If you’re a stay-at-home mom with a passion for writing looking for a part-time gig, or someone with a full-time job who wants to write on the side, or you just like to tell a good story but can’t commit to a 9-5, this is the job for you.

Our freelance writers are paid per story and we have a rewarding bonus structure.

Our ideal candidate will have a few years of writing experience, but don’t let that hold you back if you think you have what it takes.
