Local News Reporter

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is looking for a strong journalist and storyteller to cover a range of communities in our vibrant, diverse region. This reporter will need the drive to expose corruption and injustice and also the vision to see great stories in city council agendas and everyday people. This job, which will focus on St. Louis County communities, must put breaking news in context, spot trends, pursue great human tales, watchdog governments, find news that others have overlooked and gauge the pulse of the residents we cover. This is a chance to produce first-rate, hard-hitting journalism covering a region of 2.8 million people.
