South Dakota Reporter(s)

Be part of the team for a dynamic new South Dakota newsroom and give readers hard-hitting government coverage that connects state policy to the people of our state. States Newsroom in South Dakota 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 South Dakotans’ lives. Three reporters will 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 readers beyond press releases, providing a deeper understanding of the issues.
