THE PORTLAND LEADER LOOKING FOR STRINGERS

Do you have a nose for news and a passion for your community? The Portland Leader is searching for enthusiastic and reliable newspaper stringers.

A newspaper stringer is a freelancer who works for a news organization, providing content on a per-piece basis.

As a stringer, you'll be an independent contributor, providing articles and photos about the events and issues that matter most to your area.
