Verite is a Black-led nonprofit news organization with a twofold mission to produce in-depth journalism that serves communities across New Orleans while training, developing and mentoring a new generation of journalists from underrepresented backgrounds.
Launched in 2022, Verite is seeking a Local Government Reporter to work with the managing editor and editor-in-chief to join a staff aimed at bolstering independent, nonpartisan journalism in the Deep South.
The ideal journalist for this role will be someone with five or more years of reporting or related experience who can thoughtfully develop daily/breaking news stories, deeper-dive investigative features and well-researched packages and projects.
