Staff Writer / Editorial Writer

AdMax Displays is looking for a talented, curious, and community-minded writer to join our growing publishing team.

This position will help tell the stories of businesses, organizations, people, and communities across Duluth, Superior, and the greater region. You’ll write for several AdMax publications, including Duluthian Magazine, Positively Superior, Business North, destination guides, special publications, and other print and digital projects produced throughout the year.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys talking with people, asking good questions, finding the story behind the story, and turning interviews and research into articles people actually want to read.

What You'll Do

Write feature stories, business profiles, community stories, news pieces, and other editorial content

Contribute regularly to Duluthian Magazine, Positively Superior, and Business North

Interview business owners, community leaders, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, and other local voices

Research story topics and develop article ideas

Work with our editorial and design teams to plan upcoming publications

Write content for special publications, visitor guides, directories, and other AdMax projects

Edit and proofread articles before publication

Help maintain editorial calendars and meet publication deadlines

Develop relationships with businesses and organizations throughout the region

Occasionally assist with website, email, social, and other written content related to our publications

Help us identify interesting stories happening throughout Duluth, Superior, and Northern Minnesota

Who We're Looking For

You don't need to have spent 20 years in a newsroom. We're looking for someone who can write well, communicate confidently, stay organized, and genuinely enjoys learning about people and businesses.

A great candidate will have:

Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills

The ability to conduct engaging interviews

A natural curiosity and willingness to dig deeper into a story

Strong attention to detail

The ability to manage multiple stories and deadlines at once

Comfort reaching out to and interviewing people they haven't met before

An understanding of what makes a story interesting to a local audience

The ability to adapt their writing style for different publications and audiences

A collaborative attitude and willingness to work closely with editors, designers, photographers, and the broader AdMax team

Experience in journalism, communications, marketing, publishing, or professional writing is preferred, but a strong writing portfolio and the right personality matter more to us than a specific degree or career path.

What You'll Write About

One week you might be interviewing the owner of a new restaurant in Superior. The next, you could be profiling one of Duluth's largest employers, covering a major development project, highlighting a local nonprofit, or helping put together a guide showcasing everything there is to do around Lake Superior.

The variety is a big part of the job.

Our publications reach thousands of readers throughout the region, giving you the opportunity to tell stories about the businesses, people, projects, and ideas shaping our communities.
