Reporter Resume Template — Sage Design
Reporter resumes are strongest when they show consistent output under deadline — how many stories per week, live coverage experience, and the beats you have owned. Include any awards, wire pickups, or on-air experience since these are the differentiators news directors and editors screen for. The Sage template — zen-minimal earthy green — perfect for sustainability, health, and nonprofit roles. — pairs that with a layout built to get noticed by both recruiters and ATS software.
Reporter Resume — Frequently Asked Questions
How many stories should a reporter list producing per week on their resume?
State your actual filing pace, e.g. "Filed 5-8 stories weekly on a daily deadline," since news organizations use this figure to gauge whether you can handle their volume expectations.
Should a reporter resume include broadcast or on-air experience separately?
Yes — separate print/digital reporting from any live or on-air segments, and link to a clip reel if you have broadcast experience, since these are evaluated by different hiring criteria.
