About our Reporter I :

audiochuck is seeking a seasoned storyteller with experience covering criminal justice stories. Our ideal reporter candidate has the chops to interview investigators alongside the necessary empathy to conduct sensitive interviews with survivors and loved ones of victims. This role would work on multiple audiochuck shows, and could include the top true crime podcast in the world - Crime Junkie and our newest weekly show, The Deck.

What You’ll Do : Case Selection :

One of the most essential roles investigative reporters play at audiochuck involves case selection. In this process, the reporter finds and vets various cases within the scope of a specific show. Reporters do initial research and identify cases that align with advocacy goals, have sufficient coverage, and match the creative vision for the show.

Reporting Trips :

Once cases have been identified, reporters will then plan and execute field reporting trips. On these trips, they will conduct interviews, gather photos, and seek to establish a sound base upon which to build an episode or series.

Records Requests :

An important part of data gathering for reporters involves submitting record requests via local, state, and federal agencies. This often requires tenacity and significant follow-up but can yield incredible publicly available information.

Ancillary Fact-Finding :

Oftentimes, interviews and record requests alone cannot fill in the gaps of a case. When this happens, the reporter must source additional and relevant case information to bring a robust understanding of the case, and any specific dynamics at play, to the listener.

Post-Reporting Writing :

In this phase, the reporter is able to pull together all they have discovered to create a compelling and honest narrative about the selected case. When writing on behalf of a host, it is impairment to incorporate the host’s perspective and tone into the script in a seamless way. Incorporating dialogue and in-text citations is also key.

Final Script Edits & Composition :

After the initial script draft is completed, another audiochuck team member will review the script to ensure accuracy, clarity, and tone are aligned. After these edits are received, the investigative reporter must incorporate them into the script and do a final check for spelling, pronunciation, and citations.

What you will bring to the table :

Two years of experience as a reporter

Experience in the field conducting interviews and submitting record requests via local, state, and federal agencies

Creative writing skills

Attention to detail and the skills to find information through public records requests and other means

Willingness and ability to fact check information

Dedication to company culture and promoting mental health

A talented team of collaborative and passionate employees to support your work
