The Miami Herald and McClatchy are looking for an aggressive, news-breaking journalist to be the Washington Correspondent for our Florida newsrooms. The Washington Correspondent will be the eyes and ears in the nation’s capital for our readers, delivering original reporting that is not only competitive but dominant on the stories that matter most. The reporter will cover lawmakers who represent Florida in Congress and also help with the White House coverage. This is not a traditional beat reporting job focused on meetings and routine events. It is about telling our readers how what happens in Washington affects their lives without producing stories heavy on process. With the midterm elections just months away, the Washington Correspondent will be expected to move fast on breaking news while also producing exclusives and deep dives that make a difference in the lives of our readers. The reporter will identify trends, hold officials accountable and unearth the motivations and consequences of lawmakers’ actions.
