Reporter, Daily Montanan

Join the Daily Montanan and give readers hard-hitting government coverage that connects state policy to Montanans’ lives. You’ll get to cover a state with a mix of people, politics and landscapes that creates a robust environment where many national issues are mirrored locally. Montana is a place that is rugged, charming and even a bit wild, and this reporter will cover issues ranging from voting laws to bear-human conflicts. Based in Helena, this reporter will take the lead in coverage of the Montana Legislature and statewide elections. The reporter will produce daily and enterprise on topics determined in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. The ideal candidate will know how to track trending topics and find the nexus points at the state and local levels. The reporting will take readers beyond the headline or press releases to give a deeper understanding of the issues. The ideal candidate for this position will have an innate curiosity about a wide variety of topics, and a passion for politics that gives those topics shape. The reporter will not be afraid to jump in the car to go to the story, won’t be afraid of asking the hard questions and will love being part of the capitol reporting crew in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, not far from both Yellowstone and Glacier National Park.
