Nub News is looking for a journalist to come on board to help expand our coverage into nearby Solihull.

Nub News is an innovative media platform that gives its journalists the power to write their own stories and build their own audiences, on a patch where they live and work.

We're revolutionising local news and now have publications nationwide, including our most recent launch in Stafford where we began publishing in February this year.

We are looking for an energetic journalist to write proper, original news about Solihull, building on the success of our nearby titles in Kenilworth, Warwick and Leamington Spa.

Launched in 2020, Kenilworth Nub News has become the go-to spot for local news in town.

Warwick Nub News joined the network two years later, meanwhile Leamington Nub News will reach its first anniversary this spring.

Up next is Solihull Nub News.

About the job

This job would be ideal for a younger reporter looking to cut their teeth on a local newspaper, writing real stories and getting into the community.

Key to our success is having local reporters on their patch and getting out into their towns. Therefore, the successful applicant would need to live in Solihull or the surrounding villages.

Our sites carry a balance of editorial coverage featuring breaking news, crime, community events, education, council issues and sport. If it's happening on the patch, we want you to write about it.

You will need to be able to write catchy headlines and create informative captions.

You must be capable of checking your own work and ensuring grammar and spelling are correct.

In addition to providing copy for our website, you will be required to support and promote it via social media channels.

It sounds like a tough job, but it's a rewarding one with a competitive salary and the benefit of being at the heart of a local community.

And you will have expert help to back you up from our team of experienced journalists and managers.

Nub News sites don't rely on programmable ads so you won't have to publish 'clickbait content' that simply keeps readers on the site.

Instead, our journalists are expected to find original and exclusive, local news stories. They go out into their local communities and talk to people face-to-face.

So, we're looking for enthusiastic applicants who care about both their community and their journalism and who want to enjoy their work.

And we are looking for applicants who can start straight away.

Application Details

Please submit your application, including a CV and cover letter, to our managing director James Smith at [email protected]

Closing date for applications is Tuesday 28 April 2026.
