Washington Correspondent

MinnPost is seeking a Washington correspondent. As our D.C.-based reporter, your primary responsibility will be to keep tabs on Minnesota’s 10-member congressional delegation and other Minnesotans making news in the capital, along with assessing the impact of national issues on Minneso. We give our journalists the freedom to find and tell the stories they believe are worth telling. But that freedom comes with a high level of responsibility: You should be willing and able to quickly turn around smart, timely stories on the latest Washington news while also looking for enterprise pieces on how national policies and politics affects Minnesotans. You will also be responsible for writing a weekly newsletter, the D.C. Memo, summarizing and analyzing the big stories out of Washington. An intimate knowledge of Minnesota is not required, though a sense of curiosity about the state’s unique political culture certainly is. Candidates should be self-starters, with a capacity for working independently and a proven ability to write compellingly in a variety of formats for an engaged audience.
