Key Responsibilities:
- Write and report both breaking news and enterprise stories about economic issues.
- Maintain deep sourcing among federal officials, stakeholders and relevant congressional leaders and staff.
- Write clear, smart and incisive copy that details the real-world implications of policy decisions for our core audience of informed readers.
- Work in partnership with editors and other reporters to produce ambitious, newsmaking journalism.
Desired Qualifications:
- 3-5+ years of proven experience reporting, with a preference toward people with experience covering economic policy.
