The Bay Area News Group, a subsidiary of MediaNews Group, is seeking a Housing Reporter to join the The Mercury News/East Bay Times team. We are looking for an energetic and resourceful reporter to join our top-notch housing team covering an issue that defines the Bay Area like perhaps no other region in the country, shaping the lives of anyone who lives or works here. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about a topic that has the attention of everyone in the region, whether they are newcomers or long-time residents, young or old, rich or poor, renters or homeowners.
You will be responsible for covering the Bay Area housing market – everything from the big ideas and housing trends to data-driven pieces on home sales, to news developments about how politicians and advocates are responding to the housing crisis, to richly-detailed human stories about how housing costs drive the often difficult life experences of Bay Area residents. You should be an experienced self-starter with an affinity for data and an ability to mine sources for a steady stream of daily news coverage and deeper enterprise for online and print platforms. You should be equally comfortable working independently and as part of a team, collaborating with other reporters who cover housing, homelessness, home sales and commercial deals.
