Midwest Editor/Correspondent

KFF, the non-profit health policy analysis, polling and journalism organization, is seeking a St. Louis-based editor/correspondent to join the staff of Kaiser Health News (KHN), the national newsroom producing and distributing in-depth journalism about health issues across the country. KHN has a vibrant and ambitious staff based in Washington, D.C., California, Missouri, Colorado and Montana.

We are seeking journalists with a strong interest in exposing the problems and illuminating possible solutions to one of the most pressing concerns of Americans: their health care. We are looking for someone who can both write and edit strong stories on state and regional struggles over health care that can be amplified for a national audience. We want scoops; we want analyses; we want lively people-centric features. We want you to help infuse our coverage with rapid-fire reporting and thoughtful writing on the big issues affecting people in the Midwest. Your job is to make sense of policy-making and politics – and more. Be a wonk, but be one who sees the humanity of this job.
