Job Description
Reporter – The Times-Picayune and Nola.com
New Orleans, Louisiana
The Times-Picayune, a locally-owned, Pulitzer Prize-winning news organization dedicated to serving the New Orleans area, is seeking a reporter to cover the city’s only first-ring suburb, Jefferson Parish.
Home to many of the metro area’s most diverse neighborhoods, Jefferson is the state’s most populous parish and a regional economic engine imbued with many of the same problems — and promise — as the Crescent City itself. We’re looking for a reporter eager to tell important stories in an area that is rich with colorful politics, home to major economic development projects and threatened by storms and rising seas.
Applicants should have experience covering a beat, as well as a track record of breaking news and developing complex enterprise. They should be skilled online and adept at juggling deadline stories with longer-term projects.
They should also enjoy working in a collaborative newsroom environment, and always be seeking new ways to engage readers while upholding our standards of fairness and accuracy.
The Times-Picayune is a 7-day, home-delivered newspaper with a veteran staff, many of whom have covered the New Orleans area for years. We are passionate about producing thoughtful journalism both in print and on our website NOLA.com, and have been aggressive about growing the organization to reach more subscribers.
In addition to the New Orleans products, our company publishes The Advocate in Baton Rouge and The Acadiana Advocate in Lafayette, as well as their surging digital properties.
The company is an equal opportunity employer, committed to recruiting, developing, and promoting a diverse workforce while providing unique opportunities and career paths for our employees. We encourage applicants of all backgrounds and experience levels to apply.
Salary: Commensurate with experience
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, Life, Short Term Disability (STD), Long Term Disability (LTD), Paternity Leave, PTO and 401k Retirement Savings company match.
