Local Investigative Reporter

Do you have what it takes to dig beyond breaking news coverage in a state with limited central control, little trust in government, massive inequality and some of the craziest local news stories in the nation? AL.com is seeking a top-flight news leader to guide its coverage of the state’s three largest metros. We devote extraordinary resources to investigative reporting and are looking to grow our in-depth coverage of the state’s largest cities. This Managing Producer will supervise coverage of the biggest, most impactful stories in historic Birmingham, fast-growing Huntsville and coastal Mobile. We seek someone with an ability to guide reporters through challenging stories that change laws, impact lives, examine inequities, hold local leaders accountable and compete for national awards. Since 2018, AL.com journalists have won two Pulitzer Prize awards and earned a finalist spot for a Pulitzer, as well as earning honors from IRE, Goldsmith and ONA.
