Federal Policy Reporter (Higher Education)

Inside Higher Ed, the leading source for news, commentary and analysis about higher education, seeks an enterprising, inquisitive journalist to cover the federal government's increasingly complicated and fraught relationship with higher education. The reporter will cover the impact of federal policy on colleges, their employees and their students; how federal agency policies and Congressional actions both support institutions and hold them accountable; and the slow erosion of higher education as a bipartisan priority. Inside Higher Ed engages in authoritative journalism that provides a mix of news, enterprise and analysis. Our reporters mix beat reporting, analysis and creative approaches to telling stories; candidates should be able to juggle multiple articles at once, and should like to dig deeply and to learn. Candidates should have at least three years of full-time professional reporting experience; a background covering technology (for the technology position) and/or higher education is a plus.
