NJ Advance Media seeks a health care reporter

NJ Advance Media is seeking an experienced journalist to report on a spectrum of health care issues and topics in New Jersey, from hospitals and urgent care centers to school nurses and the policy taking shape in the statehouse.

We are looking for a Health Care Reporter who is an engaging storyteller and compelling writer who will develop deep sourcing, embrace document diving and who loves the challenge of exposing wrongdoing. Coverage will include daily news posts, breaking news coverage, analysis, regularly produced enterprise and projects.

Our ideal candidate will have the following:

  • A bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications or related field, or equivalent education and/or experience
  • A minimum of five years in journalism with a proven ability in reporting and writing required, preferably including experience in investigations
  • An ability to cultivate sources in government, advocacy groups, educational circles and other demographics offering unique and visionary coverage.
