What is nonprofit journalism?

A nonprofit journalism job involves reporting, editing, or producing news content for media organizations that operate as nonprofits. These organizations prioritize public interest journalism over profit, often focusing on investigative reporting, local news, or underreported issues. Funding comes from donations, grants, and memberships rather than advertising or subscriptions. Professionals in this field work in roles such as reporters, editors, researchers, or multimedia producers. The goal is to provide high-quality, independent journalism that serves the public good.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in nonprofit journalism?

To thrive in Nonprofit Journalism, you need strong investigative reporting skills, a keen understanding of ethical journalism principles, and a background in communications or journalism—often supported by a relevant degree. Experience with content management systems, data visualization tools, and multimedia editing software is highly valuable. Excellent storytelling, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity are crucial soft skills for engaging diverse audiences and working within mission-driven teams. These competencies enable journalists to produce impactful, trustworthy reporting that advances a nonprofit's mission and builds public trust.

What are common challenges faced by nonprofit journalists and how can they be addressed?

Nonprofit journalists often face challenges such as limited resources, tight budgets, and the need to cover complex, underreported stories that require in-depth research. Balancing editorial independence with an organization’s mission can also be a unique aspect of this work. To address these challenges, nonprofit journalists frequently collaborate closely with editors, subject matter experts, and other nonprofits, seek grant funding for investigative projects, and make use of digital tools to maximize their reach. Developing time management skills, adaptability, and a strong professional network can help journalists thrive in this demanding yet rewarding field.

About The Tribune


The Salt Lake Tribune has been Utah's independent voice since 1871. In 2019, we became the first legacy U.S. newspaper to transition to nonprofit status, helping to lead a national movement toward sustainable local journalism.


Today, we continue to expand our reach across Utah through innovative reporting, strong community engagement and new local initiatives. We're seeking a Sales Representative to join our team and help advance this mission by building strong client partnerships that support impactful local journalism.


The Role


As a Sales Representative, you will drive revenue growth by developing and maintaining client relationships, executing effective advertising programs, and helping businesses connect with Tribune audiences across Utah. This role plays a critical part in sustaining nonprofit journalism through strategic, ethical advertising partnerships.


This role reports to the Chief Development Officer. This is a full-time, salaried, benefitted position that is eligible for a performance-based commission plan. This is a hybrid position, with at least two days per week working from our Salt Lake office.


What You'll Do

  • Drive new and retain existing business by prospecting, pitching, and closing advertising partnerships, with clear accountability for meeting monthly and quarterly revenue goals
  • Maintain and grow a client list
  • Oversee the execution of advertising programs and client relationships on your assigned list
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure campaigns are delivered accurately and on deadline
  • Prepare sales materials, presentations, and decks for client meetings

Compensation & Benefits

  • We offer a $55,000 base salary with performance-based commission, with target total compensation of $78,000+. Commission is uncapped, and earnings increase with strong performance.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Paid time off, sick leave, and parental leave
  • Employer-paid life insurance, short-term & long-term disability
  • Flexible hours and hybrid work options
  • Cellphone stipend + mileage reimbursement
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility for qualified employees

Why Join Us


This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to help build a sustainable future for local journalism in Utah while working directly with communities and businesses across the state. Your work will directly support The Tribune's mission to serve Utahns for the next 150 years.


The Salt Lake Tribune is an inclusive employer. We're committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve, and we strongly encourage people of all backgrounds to apply.
