While some reporting experience is preferred, it is not required. The candidate should have strong writing abilities and a demonstrated interest in journalism and international business as well as cultural, economic and political affairs.
The reporter will need to master Associated Press style, report on seminars, receptions, press events and other meetings in the Atlanta area and assist with filming video interviews as needed.

Agio Press is in the process of expanding its coverage of Savannah and Georgia and the new reporter will play an important role in this growth as well.
Mastery of a foreign language, especially Spanish, would be appreciated, but is not required. A bachelor’s degree is required.
The position includes medical benefits and a salary commensurate with experience.
