Real Time Projects Reporter at Gannett in Fort Pierce, Florida

Job Description:

Are you passionately curious? Do you still have a million more questions after learning the " who, what, when, where, why and how" of a story? Can you quickly and thoroughly report and write the answers? Then this job is for you.

TCPalm/Treasure Coast Newspapers, part of USA TODAY NETWORK, seeks a smart, inquisitive, analytical reporter eager to dig beyond the headlines to explain "so what, who cares, what does it mean?" This enterprise reporter is not bound by any one beat or topic, but focuses on the biggest breaking news and trending topics of the day to produce stepped-back follow-ups that range from dailies to quick-hit analyses, enterprise and mini-investigations. It's exclusive watchdog reporting in real time. Solutions and service journalism is a must with this position.

This reporter must be a self-starter, quick learner, thorough researcher and team collaborator who can work fast, juggle multiple stories and work on long-range stories without getting bogged down.

Data reporting and data visualization are essential, so experience is a plus and a willingness to learn and be self-taught is a must. The ideal candidate has at least 1-3 years of professional experience in a daily newsroom, a strong body of work and a track record of breaking news and effecting change.

This reporter is based in Fort Pierce, Florida, and serves a local audience across the Treasure Coast, as well as state and national readers through the USA TODAY NETWORK.

We are eager to learn more about you and how you fit this role. When you apply, don't limit your upload to a resume; show us what you've done. To do so, put together a single document file that includes the following, in this order:

Your resume - one to two pages.

A cover letter that outlines how you would approach the job.

Links to 3-6 online samples of your work. Show us what you've produced or had a hand in that best reflects what you can do in your desired role.

It is important that these items be assembled into a single document and uploaded in PDF format. Completing these steps will ensure that your application receives the highest consideration.
