South Reporter

We’re looking for an ambitious reporter to take on compelling stories grounded in the South but with national resonance, designed to surprise, reveal, inform and bring about change. The South has been the focus of some of ProPublica’s most ambitious coverage. Our investigations have drawn attention to the disproportionate toll of bankruptcies in Memphis, Tennessee, the inadequate unemployment system in North Carolina, the anti-critical race theory movement’s targeting of a Black educator in Georgia and environmental injustice in Alabama. Our Local Reporting Network partners have also produced work that has had impact in the region. You’ll join our team of reporters covering the South with a focus on Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
