Job Description

TalkingPointsMemo.com, the respected pioneer of online political news currently celebrating its 25th year of publishing, is expanding its reporting team.

TPM is looking to fill immediately a new position for a political reporter who will help to confront the current political moment more robustly.

The preferred candidate will be a political reporter with significant experience who is skilled at their craft; who understands the political moment, the underlying power dynamics, and the lurch away from democracy; and who can expertly navigate the strong currents coursing through American politics.

The ideal candidate will be able to hit the ground running and immediately contribute to TPM’s highest-value coverage areas: the Trump II presidency, the erosion of democracy, the historic ascension of a reactionary right-wing.

This is a DC or NYC position, with a slight preference for DC.

The salary range is $85,000-$110,000 annually. Benefits include health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), and three weeks paid vacation per year.

This is a position covered under the Writers Guild of America East Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Please send resume and cover letter to jobs@talkingpointsmemo.com (include the subject line: “Job App: Political Reporter”).

Founded during the 2000 Florida recount by Josh Marshall, TPM brings a scrappy, smart, and sophisticated approach to covering American politics. It has long had an outsized influence on national political coverage and public discourse. With a membership-based business model, TPM has enjoyed financial stability, resilience, and growth despite the turmoil in journalism and publishing.
