Check this out. The Digger, a little-known paper outside the Scottish West Coast (here’s the wiki). It covers courts, reveals a lot of crime stories – and more often than not, it’s a damn good read. Never dull.
And now it’s hiring and it’s not a bad salary – up to £26,000, which is a really decent wage for Scottish journalism. Of course, crime reporting always comes with extra risks, but I’m really (pleasantly) surprised at the salary with that positions. Shows you how well at least one publication is doing, providing unique and original content.
