Come join us as a reporter for the Gulf States Newsroom! This is a chance to dig into a story-rich beat in a vital region, travel and do impactful work.
TITLE OF POSITION: Justice, Race and Equity Reporter, Gulf States Newsroom (Staff Officer I)
DEPARTMENT: News & Public Affairs
ANNUAL ENTRY SALARY: $45,000 – $50,000
This is a full-time position that’s eligible for full benefits including excellent medical, dental and vision, ten paid holidays and a 401(a) retirement plan.
Who We Are: The Gulf States Newsroom is an exciting partnership between public radio stations in Louisiana (WWNO), Alabama (WBHM), and Mississippi (MPB-Mississippi Public Broadcasting) and NPR. We’re working together as a regional newsroom to plan coverage, share resources and add reporting power in a story-rich region where too many local news outlets have disappeared. It’s part of NPR’s collaborative journalism network, an initiative designed to better connect NPR with local member stations to represent what’s happening around the United States.
Who We Are Looking For: We need a passionate reporter to travel across the region and cover stories about incarceration, policing, housing and education, through the lens of race and equity. And there are so many stories to tell. This region has some of the harshest sentencing laws and highest rates of incarceration in the country. Prisons in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are each under investigation by the Department of Justice for various violations. This reporter will cover these issues and their ripple effects on communities and highlight the reform efforts underway to turn around these bleak statistics.
How It Works: The reporter will be an employee of MPB in Jackson and will report to the managing editor of the Gulf States Newsroom (based in Birmingham), with support from the local news director. This reporter will be part of a team of regional reporters who cover health care and wealth and poverty. Stories run on the radio and online across partner stations. They will have the opportunity to file for NPR often and occasionally pitch in on local coverage at their home station. This is a grant-funded position with funding through October 2023. The Gulf States Newsroom intends to raise funds to sustain the position beyond that period.
