Media Politics Reporter:
We are looking for a confident journalist comfortable handling everything from features to hard news, and who is as adept at breaking a story on our website in the middle of the afternoon as on the front page the next morning.
Our politics beat is one of the most important at our paper and provides an opportunity for a diversity of stories and trend pieces. This reporter primarily focuses on local state and federal lawmakers and the impacts of their work on citizens in our coverage area. Our location means that we keep an eye on the political scenes in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. This reporter also covers one of our smaller local cities.
A bachelor’s degree or equivalent and three years of experience in a newspaper setting are preferred, but we are willing to consider any talented journalist. Students graduating this spring are welcome to apply, particularly if they have any political reporting experience. Primary responsibilities include writing news and feature stories, taking video and using social media to gather information and inform readers.
Joining our team offers more than just the daily grind of churning out small stories, though. Reporters have time to tackle Sunday centerpieces on larger issues and to craft strong series. Investigative reporting and data-driven work also is encouraged.
