Descripción del trabajo

Overview

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram seeks a dynamic reporter ready to attack the news of the day with urgency and context in our growing, diverse 2.2 million-people county. This beat has no bounds in our highly collaborative, digitally focused newsroom. We want a journalist eager to jump on important stories that communities are talking about right now, with an emphasis on consistently publishing quick-turn enterprise reporting.

Are people upset that the bridge in their neighborhood park has been out for months? Are culture wars flaring up at meetings of a suburban school board? Is truck traffic wreaking havoc in the heart of a small town? This reporter is on it—asking how, why and who is responsible with curiosity and drive to connect with readers. You will mine for stories from across sources, including neighborhood associations, community leaders, government agendas, social media, advocacy organizations, business groups and simply talking to people about what matters to them.

Successful applicants understand the need for speed as well as context. The goal is to grow our audience reach and earn loyal readers by quickly and consistently publishing credible, timely and compelling stories about topics in the news in Tarrant County and beyond. This supports a larger mission of serving the needs of distinct audiences as we seek to grow and retain digital subscribers to ensure the future of local journalism.

Its population is diverse, with about 35% Hispanic or Latino, over 18% Black and about 5% Asian, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Star-Telegram is committed to better representing the diverse North Texas communities we cover and to building an inclusive newsroom for staff of all backgrounds. We encourage members of historically underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.
