Over the past 224 years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.

The New York Post is looking for a City Hall Reporter (M-F) to keep a close eye on the mayor’s office, City Council, and the political forces shaping the city.

This role isn’t for the faint of heart—we need a reporter who can hustle for scoops, ask the tough questions, and break exclusive stories that keep New Yorkers informed.

Responsibilities

  • Cover the mayor’s office, City Council, and key city agencies and departments – including the Department of Education and the MTA – with a sharp, critical eye.
  • Regularly work from City Hall and cultivate a deep network of government sources.
  • Break exclusive stories that hold city leaders accountable and set the news agenda.
  • Translate complex policy, budgets, and government decisions into compelling, clear stories.
  • Leverage SEO and social media best practices to expand audience reach.
  • Collaborate with editors and other reporters on investigative projects and enterprise stories.

Qualifications

  • At least 1 year of experience reporting on local politics or government.
  • The skills to develop deep and reliable sources in city government.
  • A nose for news, with the drive to break exclusive stories.
  • Strong writing skills—able to turn government reports into must-read journalism.
  • Experience with WordPress and knowledge of SEO and social media best practices.
  • Note : This role requires on-site reporting from New York City Hall four days a week.
  • Compensation & Benefits

    Pay Range : $60,000 – $65,000

    In addition to compensation, the company provides eligible employees a comprehensive and highly competitive benefits package, with a variety of physical health, retirement and savings, caregiving, emotional wellbeing, transportation, and other benefits, including elective benefits employees may select to best fit the needs and personal situations of our diverse workforce.
