Enterprise Reporter

We’re the new Nashville Banner. We’re deliberately different: Nonprofit, non-partisan, and frankly, not interested in clickbait. We’re on a mission to tell people something they didn’t already know, and to help them understand what’s at stake for the present and future of our ever-changing city. We deliver news that inspires our neighbors to act with agency.

Location: Nashville. This is not a remote position.

Beat: Enterprise reporter

Position: The Nashville Banner is seeking a driven, creative journalist to be our first enterprise reporter. This person is not afraid to dig into public records or data to explain them, but also knows that the best stories prioritize the people at the center of them. We’re looking for someone who can help hold institutions and people in power accountable and who is driven to get out into the community and amplify the voices of those often overlooked by mainstream media.

We’re looking for a generous teammate — we don’t have time for prima donnas — who has an investigative mindset and works well with others.
