KPBS Racial Justice & Social Equity Reporter

The reporter will work at the direction of the News Director, under the supervision of a News Editor, and work in coordination with other members of the News Division. The reporter will be part of a team tasked with covering social inequity in housing, social services, immigration, schools, workplaces, cultural institutions, the legal system and access to health care. Cultivating the beat is important, but all KPBS reporters will occasionally work outside their beats, or conversely team up with others as the news merits. KPBS news beats include arts and culture, health, education, environment, investigative, military and other topics and issues. The reporter will produce news stories that may cross beats at the assignment of the News Editor, and that can be distributed on KPBS radio, TV, KPBS.org, KPBS social networks and KPBS mobile. The news stories will be produced in formats such as, but not limited to, radio newscasts, in-depth radio features, TV packages, multimedia projects and special reports as assigned. The reporter may be assigned to help fill in for other newsroom positions, such as anchoring newscasts or web producing, and appear as a guest or host on KPBS TV and radio programs. The reporter will produce local content and prepare final productions that can be distributed on all KPBS platforms. The reporter is expected to participate in station on-air fundraising activities, and make appearances for KPBS community building events and other public relations activities.
