We are looking for an energetic and resourceful reporter who can balance strong enterprise with the fast-paced news cycle. This reporter will join a team dedicated to covering the biggest daily news stories in a fascinating and diverse region, on topics ranging from public safety and health to weather and wildfires, to name a few.
The ideal journalist for this role will thrive in a fast-paced newsroom, and be able to quickly and accurately report live stories while identifying strong follow-ups. You should be a self-starter, able to cultivate sources, break news, and report on stories that hold public agencies accountable and engage readers about patterns and trends in the Bay Area. There will be opportunities for deeper reporting, but it should be approached with competitive urgency.
