The Virginia Beach news team of The Virginian-Pilot is seeking a talented, self-starting journalist whose muckraking skills and persistence in the face of all odds come as second-nature.
This reporter will be responsible for covering several key topic areas, including economic development, the city’s Department of Human Services and tourism-related issues.
The beat will also involve the efforts of Virginia’s largest city to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population.
We want a skeptical digger who can keep an eye on government but find the human stories of those affected by bureaucratic decisions. We want someone who will closely follow economic trends and be ahead of the game on major projects coming to the city. We want someone who is comfortable cranking out a story from a meeting or delving into deeper issues affecting the city’s most vulnerable residents, including troubled children, the mentally ill and the homeless. We want someone who won’t throw in the towel when told “no” — someone who will find a way to get information regardless of roadblocks.
