Job description
Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard are looking for a reporter to join our watchdog/public affairs team.It’s a dream job for a journalist who has curiosity and an edge: statewide corruption, entrenched poverty, antagonistic cops, high taxes, and a town full of optimistic people bringing change.
We want someone who can produce coverage with impact: building sources, digging into data, solving problems, finding fault, and advocating for people who need help.
You’ll find support in this newsroom that is expanding its audience and reach, learning new approaches and driving the discussion in this area. Our skilled newsroom has won national awards and dominated the state AP awards for years.
This isn’t an entry-level job. To be considered, you’ll have to demonstrate that you’ve delivered difficult watchdog work somewhere. If that’s you, come help us rattle some cages and bring your story ideas with you.
Qualified candidates should have:
- A bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications or related field preferred.
- The ability to work quickly, but with accuracy and good news judgment.
- Watchdog or investigative journalism experience.
- Ability to develop and cultivate sources.
- Good understanding of using social media for research and to engage readers.
- Digital storytelling skills and open mind to trying new approaches.
- Relentless curiosity and a good sense of humor.
We are paving the way for the future of digital news, yet we remain grounded in the ethics of solid journalism.
