The Austin American-Statesman/statesman.com, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is looking for a full-time reporter to cover all aspects of higher education in Texas– from the University of Texas at Austin and the state’s university systems, to community colleges, private postsecondary schools, student life and state education policies and finances.
Coverage should have a distinct consumer focus, tracking issues of high interest to students, parents and employees whose lives intersect with these institutions. We expect aggressive, exclusive and topical reporting, smart coverage of the news and policy issues and a watchdog sensibility. The goal is to satisfy existing audiences and reach new ones by providing a wide array of stories on a beat that too easily can be driven by bureaucratic developments.
The University of Texas, which often makes it to the top of countless lists for best schools, has a student enrollment of more than 50,000 in a city with rising living costs and scant affordable housing options.
The reporter will be expected to produce quick-turn stories, capitalize on trending news, and develop enterprise and longer-term projects.
