MassLive is seeking a Worcester News Reporter who can develop rich connections with sources to not only break news but also dig deeper to write Big J, issues-based stories that promote conversation and prompt action.
This position will be based in MassLive’s downtown Worcester office, with a minimum of two days in-office attendance expected a week. Although this reporter will write about the big issues the state’s second-largest city faces, candidate will also look for opportunities to take a step back and put those issues into greater statewide context.
This isn’t a City Hall beat. This reporter will write about the things that matter most to our readers – including housing, development, social justice issues, education and “pocketbook issues” – in and around Worcester County, and often beyond.
The right candidate understands the importance of breaking news quickly and accurately, is versatile and can add a human perspective to hard-news stories. This is often a fast-paced beat in a dynamic newsroom, but you’ll also have time to dig deeper to find, report and write enterprise stories.
MassLive is the largest digital news website in Massachusetts, according to comScore. We thrive on delivering breaking news to readers wherever they are, quickly, as well as reporting deep-dive investigative journalism.
