The Fort Worth Star-Telegram seeks a dynamic reporter ready to attack the news of the day with urgency and context and in our growing, diverse county of 2.2 million people. This is a beat that has no bounds in our highly collaborative, digitally focused newsroom. We want this journalist to be someone who is eager to jump on the important stories that our communities are talking about right now – with an emphasis on consistently publishing quick-turn enterprise reporting. Are people upset that the bridge in their neighborhood park has been out for months? Are culture wars flaring up at meetings of a suburban school board? Is truck traffic wreaking havoc in the heart of a small town? This reporter is on it – asking how, why and who is responsible with a curiosity and drive to connect with readers. You will be expected to mine for these stories from across the spectrum of sources, including neighborhood associations, community leaders, government agendas, social media, advocacy...

The Fresno Bee seeks a high-energy, self-starting journalist who can explain how what happens inside Fresno’s corridors of power affects everyday citizens in the fifth-largest city in California and 35th largest in the United States. This is not your traditional City Hall reporter job; your aim isn't simply to report on day-to-day government operations and meetings. Instead, our Fresno Civic Watchdog Reporter will be the personality and face of our local government report. With energy and expertise, this journalist will break down problems and help explain solutions to readers living and working in Fresno and the Central Valley. We are looking for a reporter who can quickly become a local government insider, skilled at developing sources who are in-the-know and translating that knowledge, along with dogged reporting, into news (and daily scoops) relevant to Fresnan’s daily lives. Fresno residents tell us they want journalism that starts with them, so this reporter is expected...

The Sacramento Bee is seeking an enthusiastic, roll-up-the-sleeves journalist to get outside our city limits and tell the intensely local story of “America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital,” including how what is happening in our region’s fields is affecting what’s appearing on our plates. With more than 1.5 million acres of farms and ranches that grow more than 160 crops, the Sacramento/Central Valley region is America’s breadbasket. From tomatoes to almonds to pears to olives to wine grapes, everything grows here, with the decisions behind what gets planted, harvested and sold having huge implications on the region’s environment, job count, grocery and restaurant prices, and overall cost of living. This reporter will work alongside our two-person food and dining team to cover all of the above for consumers first — but also for farmers, farmworkers and even restaurateurs. A recent Bee story on the decrease in demand for peaches in the region, caused by the closure of a Del Monte cannery...

McClatchy Media is seeking an engaging and creative journalist to help our readers in Sacramento, the rest of the Central Valley and San Luis Obispo County get the most out of living in California, whether that’s telling them about things to do in their backyards or places to travel within the Golden State. There will be occasional, brief trips to certain destinations, but this is not an aspirational travel guide position. We’re looking for a journalist whose sole focus is on high utility — providing readers with credible, organized, personalized information on “where to go” and “how to go,” plus “why to go” and, of course, the “cost of going.” Just about everything great in the world is included in California, including National Parks, the Pacific coastline, Wine Country, Lake Tahoe and Disneyland. There also are first-class theater, music, art and cultural happenings, and a litany of world-class museums. Sacramento is within a two-hour drive (or flight) of just about all of...

McClatchy Media is seeking an engaging, creative and reader-focused meteorologist-journalist who will educate and entertain our readers by delivering daily weather-science coverage — with personality — to our audiences in Sacramento, the rest of California’s Central Valley and the Central Coast.  This journalist will deploy a mix of digital storytelling, including personality-driven video, to define and interpret how the weather is affecting where Californians live — and the California destinations to which they most travel.

You’ll also make the experience fun for our audience, including by shooting and appearing in short-form vertical videos for our apps, websites and social platforms.  You’ll be a newsroom ambassador,...

From taco trucks and mom-and-pop spots to buzzy new restaurants and regional specialties, Fresno’s food scene is rich, diverse and constantly evolving. It’s based on our extremely diverse culture. Almost as much as we love to eat, we love to talk about food: What’s the best? Why don’t we have …? Whatever happened to …? Where can I find …? This reporter/influencer will be tasked with answering those questions and more, joining our already vibrant team of reporters who cover the region’s food scene. Strong candidates will bring fresh ideas on producing a high volume of unique, relevant...

You’ll be expected to leave the office as you report on crime, accidents and weather, among other breaking news events.  When breaking news isn’t happening, you’ll have time to dig into deeper stories, including reporting that holds police, fire and other first responders accountable.
