Our reporters choose the assignments they want to cover.
Reporters are paid $50 to $75 per story. Each story is about 350 words. Reporters are paid monthly via e-check, so you never wait for the “check in the mail.”
Most work is remote, using online tools such as email and video to cover meetings and report on what local leaders say and the votes they take. However, there are a few in-person assignments for those who like to be on the scene.
During remote work, reporters may also call businesses to learn about new shops and restaurants coming to the area.
Reporters can access news-writing training resources and our Assignment Sheet to view available assignments, dues dates, pay rates, and other important information. Once there, reporters may claim assignments they’re interested in writing.
All regularly contributing reporters also get a complimentary Potomac Local News membership for full access to content on our website.
This is an excellent opportunity for work-based learning students, college students, retirees, or anyone curious about their community.

Thank you.

On the current trajectory, by the end of next year, the country will have lost a third of its newspapers since 2005. Discouragingly, the growth in alternative local news sources — digital and ethnic news outlets and public broadcasting — has not kept pace with what’s being lost.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season are upon us. I'm surprised at how fast it creeps up on us every year.
This Thanksgiving, as we do each year, will take a break for a holiday and reflect on the many blessings in our lives.
