The Gulf States Newsroom – a collaboration among public radio stations in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, plus NPR – is hiring a tenacious and empathetic journalist to report powerful stories about the profound impacts of the criminal legal system on our local communities. We’re looking for an investigator who can uncover and tell compelling stories about how incarceration and gun violence affect those communities.
This reporter will probe beyond crime statistics and law enforcement narratives to focus on communities at the heart of these issues. You will spotlight the reform efforts underway and the stakeholders striving to change these bleak narratives. Your stories will illuminate the human impact of the criminal legal system, elevate the voices that often go unheard and spark conversations that can drive change.
This reporter will join a team of award-winning editors and regional reporters whose beats include wealth and poverty, environmental justice and health equity. The reporter will occasionally pitch in on local coverage of their beat and breaking news and will have the opportunity to file for NPR.
We are seeking a self-starter who can:
We want someone who enjoys working as part of a team and is comfortable in an environment where local, regional and national needs may necessitate different approaches to storytelling. We’re seeking a journalist who listens and communicates well. Training is part of the mission of GSN and opportunities for professional development are built into this role.
