Reporter

Embarcadero Media seeks a versatile, digital-first news reporter based in the Bay Area with solid reporting, newsgathering and writing skills and good instincts about what makes a story compelling. Reporting for Embarcadero's newest site, the Redwood City Pulse, the ideal candidate has the ability to work under tight deadlines and the desire to engage readers through multiple forms of storytelling, including email newsletters, social media, podcasts, videos and other forms of multimedia. The journalist's work should reflect the vitality of the Redwood City community by covering the people, organizations, culture and government that impact residents. It will be important for the reporter to develop a broad range of sources and pitch story ideas that will resonate with our community members. The journalist will need to be organized and able to tackle fast-paced daily stories and longer, well-sourced enterprise stories that may require a bit more digging. This journalist will work with Embarcadero Media's award-winning Peninsula editorial team that currently publishes the Palo Alto Weekly and The Almanac newspapers, three community websites (Palo Alto Online, Mountain View Online and The Almanac Online) and two specialty lifestyle digital newsletters (The Six Fifty and Peninsula Foodist.) You will work with our editor, our community engagement manager and our marketing team.
