Lookout Eugene-Springfield

Lookout Eugene-Springfield launches in early 2025, the second community news site of Lookout Local.

When launched -- with about 15 in the newsroom and 20 overall --it will serve as the largest and best newsroom in Oregon's second-largest metro area. Lookout doesn't complain about hedge fund ownership; we replace it with high-quality, trustworthy, non-partisan news and information broadly covered all aspects of diverse communities. We're looking for skilled, experienced professionals eager and able to build the next generation of local news, working out of our in-person, open-to-the-community downtown office.
