The government reporter is a critical part of the newsroom’s beat reporting team, which will include reporters focused on education, health, and economics. They will be responsible for delivering powerful news and accountability reporting on all the ways that local government shapes the lives of Indianapolis residents.
We are seeking an ambitious reporter who’s excited to deliver a steady stream of impactful news and enterprise. The government reporter will have the opportunity to break news, uncover government malfeasance, and craft elegant explanatory pieces — sometimes in the same week. The ideal candidate is creative, enterprising and relentless in their pursuit of the truth. They are excited to identify new ways to help Indianapolis residents understand policies and politics and driven to create content that will appeal to a wide audience, particularly in communities historically underserved by mainstream news media.
This reporter will be part of a team led by the Managing Editor, News. They will also work closely with the Managing Editor, Innovation, and Community Journalism Director, who runs the Indy Documenters, to shape a government beat that reflects community interests.
