This reporter’s beat will also include covering the city’s aging public infrastructure, such as sewers and street space.

Qualifications     
  • Minimum of 5 years professional journalism experience     
  • Experience as a beat reporter at a major news organization     
  • Experience covering breaking news and developing stories     
  • Familiarity with New York City and state government operations

  • Deft writing, including knowledge of AP style and strong grammar skills     
  • Ability to manage several products on multiple platforms concurrently     
  • A deep commitment to accurate, ethical journalism     
  • Demonstrated knowledge of complex social and cultural issues     
  • Demonstrated commitment and ability to contribute an equity lens to every aspect of people development and management processes, and ability to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion competency in newsrooms     
  • Excellent communication skills, including those for public speaking
