Be part of a dynamic new Oklahoma newsroom and give readers hard-hitting government coverage that connects state policy to the people who live it. States Newsroom in Oklahoma will be dedicated to serving as a government watchdog, covering policy, politics, and other stories of statewide interest. We want reporters who can provide important information to readers about elected officials, how public money is spent, and the ways that policy decisions affect people across the Sooner State.
Three reporters will be based in Oklahoma City to cover the Legislature, governor’s office, state agencies, elections and other assignments. The reporters will produce daily and enterprise stories, take photos, and share content on social media.
The ideal candidates will know how to track trending topics and hold officials accountable through deep source building and public records requests. The reporting will take Oklahomans beyond press releases, providing a deeper understanding of their state government.
