Whether you're searching for your next career move, looking to stay informed about job opportunities in your community, or ready to launch a career as an independent journalist, My Local Press is here to help you get there.

A Platform Built for Career Growth

At a time when nearly half of all local and community newspapers have closed over the past two decades — leaving cities, towns, and communities across the globe without reliable local news coverage — My Local Press is stepping in with a solution. The platform gives independent and aspiring journalists a no-cost way to start and run their own local news businesses, publish meaningful content, and earn money by selling advertising that supports local businesses.

The Careers Section: Your Community's Job Hub

The My Local Press Careers section is a dedicated space where publishers and journalists can share job opportunities, hiring news, and career advice relevant to their local communities. Whether you're a business owner looking to connect with local talent or a job seeker wanting to stay on top of what's available in your area, this is your go-to resource.

Turn Your Passion for Journalism Into a Career

For those looking to break into journalism, My Local Press offers more than just a publishing platform — it offers a career pathway. As publishers reach key publishing milestones, My Local Press provides reference and resume-building services to help independent journalists demonstrate their experience and credibility to future employers or clients.

It's real-world journalism experience, documented and recognized.
