Politics Reporter

Are you an experienced, competitive politics reporter? If so, the award-winning Arkansas Democrat-Gazette could be the next place for you to report and write about statewide political issues, such as those stemming from a state Legislature with an aggressive agenda and a state government transitioning from one governor to another. The successful candidate will have at least five years of experience, as well as be someone who is down with fighting with officials for public records and able to help keep tabs on how tax dollars are spent. This candidate will excel at developing sources, understanding numbers and writing clearly about complex topics. Those familiar with the workings of state human services departments, including Medicaid programs, would have a leg up for this position.
