Job description

D.C. Reporter

Location : Remote

The San Francisco Chronicle has an opening for a driven and intellectually curious journalist to cover the 15-member Bay Area Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C. The reporter will take on an essential position within the politics team, producing stories chronicling President Donald Trump’s policies targeting California and the tension between the state and the federal government, as well as how powerful Bay Area figures are shaping — or thwarting — solutions in Washington. And they will pursue angles on national issues including abortion, climate change and civil rights that resonate with Bay Area readers.

Reporters at the Chronicle seek to provide must-read, best-in-class coverage through

scoops, quick-hit enterprise stories, investigations and utility-focused pieces that demystify politics and government systems, hold leaders accountable and drive home the ways in which policies impact people’s lives. We’re seeking a self-starter with high standards who has excellent writing skills, is comfortable providing and taking feedback, is committed to inclusive journalism and wants to own the stories that matter most.

If you don’t perfectly fit the position we’ve described, and / or have valuable skills you’d bring to the role that aren’t articulated here, please don’t hesitate to apply.

What you will do :

  • Report and write news and analysis for SFChronicle.com that may also publish in The Chronicle's print editions.
  • Compete with local and national outlets to provide readers the timeliest and most authoritative information.
  • Examine how systems and leaders deliver on their promises.
  • Produce high-impact digital projects by collaborating with other newsroom teams.

What it will take to be successful :

  • At least three years of experience in a newsroom or related work environment.
  • Strong news judgment, creativity, meticulousness and commitment to fairness.
  • Persistence in filing and tracking public records requests.
  • Ability to collaborate and work in a fast-changing news environment.
  • An understanding of the unique dynamics of and challenges facing San Francisco and the Bay Area
  • Requirements :

  • This position is full time and will likely include occasional weekend work.
  • The successful candidate must be based in Washington or willing to move to the region

    In accordance with applicable law, Hearst is required to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation for this role if hired in California. The reasonable estimate is between $90,000 and $110,000. Please note this information is specific to those hired in California. If this role is open to candidates outside of California, the salary range would be aligned to that specific location. A final decision on the successful candidate’s starting salary will be based on a number of permissible, non-discriminatory factors, including but not limited to skills and experience, training, certifications, and education.
