Investigative Reporters, D.C.
We are seeking to hire three experienced investigative reporters to cover politics, power and the inner workings of the federal government in Washington. ProPublica’s D.C. bureau will not be as big as those run by our competitors, but its reporters and senior editor will not shy away from the most urgent investigative targets and will have the time and resources to pursue stories with creativity and ambition. Our approach is different from others’, but we’ve shown that it’s effective at making an impact. We’re looking for reporters who are invigorated by the challenges of working in a dizzying news environment and skilled at identifying important investigative angles for stories that others have missed. We want reporters who have a record of producing stories that combine the kind of rigor that is a hallmark of the best accountability journalism with the narrative style of the best magazines. And we’re looking for reporters who have done stories that surprise, uncover injustice, expose harm, deliver life-altering revelations and bring about change.
