The Seattle Times, a family-owned news organization, and one of the region’s premier news sources, is hiring an Arts Economy Reporter. This is a full-time (40 hours/week) grant-funded role that is subject to grant renewal. Funding for this role is not guaranteed beyond the 2024 calendar year, though renewal is the goal.
We’re looking for a journalist who is arts literate; understands how arts organizations, nonprofits and cultural philanthropies operate; and has a knack for telling numbers- and data-heavy stories in language all readers can understand.
Using solutions journalism, watchdog reporting and other reporting tools, we want you to help us shed light on how arts organizations in the greater Puget Sound region approach programming, finances and audiences now. How are trends in arts philanthropy evolving? How are real estate prices and inflation affecting arts organizations and artists? How do ticket prices affect access? How are cultural institutions’ revenue models changing? Who are the economic winners and losers on today’s arts landscape? How are artists making ends meet in an increasingly expensive city?
Schedule: Flexible, with some weekends and evenings required.
