LGBTQ Community Reporter
The San Francisco Chronicle has an opening for a driven and intellectually curious journalist to cover this historic moment for the LGBTQ community, both in San Francisco and around the country. The community is under sustained pressure from those seeking to roll back years of progress. The upcoming midterm elections and the presidential campaigns to follow will likely only increase this dynamic. We seek a reporter who can explore the roots of this development, the political dynamics at play and the personalities leading the effort. We want to tell the stories of those under fire to better understand the impact of this political movement. We also want to tell the stories of those who support these efforts to better understand their motivation.
Reporters at The Chronicle seek to provide must-read, best-in-class coverage through scoops, quick-hit enterprise stories and investigations. This reporter will need to respond quickly to developments that can range from isolated incidents to attempted changes in the law. 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.
