The successful candidate will have a burning desire to uncover and construct gripping, in-depth, data-based narratives about how geography, special interests, federal rules, laws and government policies conspire to hinder economic mobility.
The candidate should also have a knack for sniffing out unreported tales that illuminate the plight of poor and middle-income families, and the relentless drive to bring those tales home. Experience covering finance and government regulation of the economy is preferred. Some data skills are essential, as well as the ability to write about large databases and find correlations that lead to “a-ha” conclusions.
Your work will lead to major stories co-published with multiple broadcast, website, magazine and newspaper partners that reach a national audience. The Center’s recent partners include The Washington Post, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, NBC News, Foreign Policy, Slate, Salon, The Daily Beast and POLITICO Magazine.
The Center for Public Integrity is committed to hiring employees from diverse backgrounds with excellent investigative journalism skills. People of color, women, LGBTQ and differently-abled people are encouraged to apply.
