Grice Connect is working to create a sustainable, hyper-local, digital first news model. Our goal is rescuing local news by focusing on a solutions-based journalism model.
With this model, we focus on highlighting the best in our community, while incorporating spot and hard news. We are doing this with a free-to-user, subscriber model which focuses on bringing relevant, credible local news to our community in a real-time, digital environment.
We are building a sponsor base using a share of voice model versus impression/click model. This provides a cleaner, more engaging user experience and allows us to focus on powerful local content, backed by leading community businesses who are investing in our efforts to rescue local news.
This model is proving, through exponential reader growth and revenue growth, that businesses and communities want news delivered and told differently. Through this, Grice Connect is rebuilding the social capital in our community that was lost with the deterioration of our once daily, now weekly local newspaper.
Grice Connect is known as the first place citizens turn for breaking local news, as well. From Hurricanes to COVID to escaped convicts, our community depends on us to lead them through it.
We need you
The work is exhausting, but the mission is a powerful one. If you are passionate about making a difference, understand the importance of a connected, informed community and would like to be part of a movement to change the way local news is delivered and how stories are told, we need you.
Grice Connect has immediate full-time and part-time opportunities for people local to Statesboro or Bulloch County who have writing, reporting, or journalistic skills. We are also looking for someone with interest and experience in covering local sports.
In addition, we have an immediate opening for our Director of Sponsor Development. This career opportunity is perfect for someone with excellent sales and people skills who enjoys introducing businesses to a new way to tell their story.
