Higher Education Reporter

The Arizona Daily Star, a Lee Enterprises company, is seeking an experienced reporter who loves covering higher education.

In Tucson, a growing, dynamic city of more than a million, covering the University of Arizona is a fundamental responsibility of The Arizona Daily Star. That means covering a student body of 50,000, a diverse and dynamic faculty that includes national and international leaders in various disciplines, including top researchers; and a burgeoning administration that manages a $2 billion annual budget. For an enterprising reporter who wants to dig deep to get the stories readers care about, it’s a target-rich environment. It’s like having your own private city to cover.

Also in Tucson and full of great stories is Pima Community College, a center of continuing education, career development and lifelong learning – with an administration that has been no stranger to controversy.

The Arizona Daily Star is Tucson’s dominant news source, with a Pulitzer Prize and several finalists to its credit. More importantly, we at the Star care about our community and we care about top-notch local journalism.
