Democracy Reporter

Charlottesville Tomorrow is a community-driven, socially conscious news organization. We serve our neighbors by connecting them to each other and to the issues that affect them most. Our reporters dig deeply into issues that affect our community, regularly producing work that highlights issues often ignored by other media. We center our organization and news processes on our values — truth, community, and equity — and we work to improve the health of our local news community and ecosystem through our inclusive practices in hiring, journalism and partnership. Our newsroom covers the issues that are most important in our community with a focus on race and equity and reaches a large share of our market through our free email subscriptions, news apps, social media and events. Charlottesville Tomorrow seeks a reporter who is looking to do ground-level work that makes a difference to our communities. The reporter will focus on covering democracy at the local level, the ways communities are impacted by and create city and county government and agencies in central Virginia. The reporter reports to the Editor-in-Chief and works day-to-day with the Managing Editor. We work hard to create a healthy news environment and rethink how news is produced, both for the sake of journalists doing the work and the communities we serve. While we are outlining job responsibilities and skills here, we are looking for someone who wants to join our team to help build on that culture. If you are interested, even if your experience does not match all that is listed here, please apply.
