Ideal candidates will be open to reporting on a variety of topics and have an insatiable curiosity about how the criminal justice system works from the moment someone is arrested to the moment of conviction or acquittal.  We want someone who can work calmly under tight deadlines, deliver scoops, write quickly, make a lot of phone calls, knock on doors, be creative, think about storytelling on different platforms, deliver sharp headlines and willingly embrace learning new skills.  The position demands initiative, accuracy, urgency and insight. It also demands strong news judgment and the ability to find stories and trends that are immediate, important and influential. This reporter also will dig into public records to provide relevant, enterprising follow-ups to breaking news.  This reporter must be able to juggle a high volume of stories daily, all the while staying focused on the digital details of story production: headlines, SEO, multimedia assets and other points of optimization, and will be comfortable producing live blogs, listicles and quick enterprise stories.  Additionally, this person needs to feel comfortable with being edited by peers – and to contribute in a peer-editing process.  Responsibilities:     Report quickly, clearly and accurately and deliver news via stories, video, newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other methods available to reach our audience.

Demonstrate fast news judgment on an ongoing basis.  Requirements:  Bachelor's or master’s in communications, journalism or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Experience using social media accounts to identify stories is a plus. Experience creating visual news graphics optimized for social is a plus. This role requires a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the minimum liability insurance required by state law.
