EdSource seeks a senior education reporter to join its award-winning team to shed light on the complex and critical issues facing California’s K-12 public schools. We’re looking for a seasoned reporter who knows how to make sense of education policy while also writing artfully and analytically about what’s working and what’s not inside the classroom. The sandbox is big for this beat – achievement gaps, declining enrollment, policy reform and student wellness, to name a few. There’s also opportunity to tackle stories that straddle K-12 and post-secondary issues.
This job is great for someone who likes to dig beyond the headlines, seeking documents and data to evaluate education programs and policies. We are looking for stories that no one else is doing in California. EdSource has a strong data analysis and data visualization team to support the development of in-depth and investigative stories.
EdSource sets the stage for education coverage in California, with the state’s largest team of education reporters. The successful candidate will be passionate about education and resourceful, with a deep understanding of how to write with impact, as well as to place important local issues within a state and national context. The senior reporter will have range and know how to juggle longform analysis, short news updates and in-depth enterprise. If you’re right for this role, you will have a knack for distilling complex topics and education jargon into clear, engaging storytelling that sheds new light on issues and trends in education.
The senior reporter will join an influential and growing organization recognized as an authoritative source of education reporting in a state with the nation’s largest system of public education.
This position is based in California. EdSource headquarters are in Oakland, although reporters work from around the state.
