Reporter, Maryland Matters

Join Maryland Matters and give readers hard-hitting government coverage that connects state policy to Marylanders’ lives. Maryland Matters is in our sixth year and proud to be the largest news team dedicated to covering the Maryland State House full-time. Part of States Newsroom, we cover politics, policy and other stories of statewide interest, and seek a reporter who can provide important information to readers about elected officials, how public money is spent, and the ways that Marylanders’ lives are affected by decisions made in the halls of power. Based in beautiful Annapolis, this reporter will focus on Maryland’s health care and social services programs, with a focus on data and enterprise reporting. The reporter will produce daily and enterprise stories 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.
