The Pensacola News Journal is looking for a reporter who wants to dig deeper than the usual beat work to create content that focuses on normalizing diverse community success and excellence as well as identifying and finding solutions to improve the quality of life for specific community segments and the region as a whole.

This beat largely focuses on how race, gender and marginalized communities intersect with topics such as politics, criminal justice, government policies, the environment and entertainment.

You'll have the freedom to move from stories about social justice and health to workforce issues, discrimination, youth issues, environment and beyond. If someone is working on improving a situation (or if no one is and there should be), it's fair game. Content runs the gamut from hard news stories, to features and people profiles and is a consistent mix of daily and enterprise reporting.

  • Creates storytelling that accurately informs and engages specific audiences and platforms through the use of metrics.
  • Illuminates the complicated system mechanisms and political and organizational choices that have led to current racial, LGBTQA+, income and immigration status injustice.
  • Listens to people sometimes overlooked by the media.
  • Connects with the community through storytelling and outreach (social media, on camera, forums, community leadership, etc.). Provides thoughtful analysis of complex issues.
  • Works with content coach to evaluate what's working and what's not and develops ongoing plans to better satisfy audience needs.
  • Captures photos and video as needed.
  • Promotes personal brand, the brands of colleagues and the institutional brand.
