Education Week, an independent, nonprofit media organization that provides news, analysis, and research on K-12 American education, is seeking a Staff Writer to join our newsroom. Our preference is that this position be based in the Washington, D.C. area.
Job Summary:
Education Week seeks a versatile and experienced reporter to cover news and enterprise stories that spotlight, explain, and elevate solutions on issues of equity and access to a high-quality education for students, especially those from historically marginalized communities. This reporter would be part of a two-person team focused on issues of educational equity but would join a newsroom in which every beat and every reporter is responsible for understanding and reporting on the various ways issues of inequity affect students and their opportunities to be successful.
This reporter must be skilled at spotting equity angles in a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to special education, teacher quality, curriculum, and access to rigorous coursework and enrichment opportunities. They should have a passion—and track record—for collaborating with a wide range of newsroom colleagues, including beat reporters, editors, and digital and visual journalists. The ideal candidate is willing and able to travel to visit classrooms and report from schools across the country. We are looking for a strong writer who can weave compelling narratives as easily as quick-turn breaking news and trend stories.
