Reporter

The Ark, located in Tiburon, Calif., is seeking a full-time beat reporter.

The Belvedere, Strawberry and public-safety beat reporter should be a sharp and enthusiastic self-starter for reporting and writing news and feature stories on a wide range of topics from government, policing and housing to personal profiles. You'll be expected to develop sources, generate story ideas and break news while thinking critically and challenging sources for high-impact accountability jornalism, even for seemingly routine meeting coverage.

The position is full-time hybrid, working in the office, on location and from home, and requires evening work to cover board meetings several times a month, as well as rare weekend work. Benefits include full medical, vision and dental; retirement with company match; paid vacation, holiday and sick days, including a ~10-plus day paid winter holiday office closure.

Ideal candidates have a bachelor's degree in journalism or a related field, and/or have background as a news reporter for a college or professional news publication.

You must reside within 30 minutes of our office or willing to relocate. Send a resume, cover letter (optional) and clips to jobs@thearknewspaper.com. We are an extremely small operation that's now short-staffed so, if we are interested, we'll contact you as soon as possible. Please do not call.
