Our Documenters program is a critical component in Wausau Pilot and Review’s mission to connect citizens with the political realities that exist in the greater Wausau area. As a Documenter, you’ll be invited to attend public meetings and docuement your observations for publication. Sometimes, what you learn at meetings can lead to larger stories from our journalists.
If this piques your interest, fill out our application on our documenters page. We’ll be in touch to set up a meeting and discuss not just our expectations, but yours. All Documenters are required to attend at least one Wausau Pilot and Review training session to become eligible for paid assignments. The rate of pay is $15 per hour for each approved and completed assignment.
This program is made possible through individual donations and grants from several organizations including the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin.
