Data Journalist

The Center for Public Integrity, a Pulitzer Prize-winning nonprofit news organization focused on investigating inequality, seeks a data journalist to work with the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative. The position is full time for one year, with a possibility of an extension. In addition to its own national investigative reporting, Public Integrity aims to build capacity among local news organizations and journalists, particularly those serving communities of color, for investigative reporting that confronts inequality. The Central Valley Journalism Collaborative is a new, nonprofit newsroom that aims to reignite high-quality journalism across California’s San Joaquin Valley. Such journalism will boost public engagement with civic life, improve the quality of life and opportunities in the Valley and provide the sort of trustworthy and important information people need to participate in a healthy democracy. The person in this position will drive our efforts to help CVJC and its local partner newsrooms do data-driven investigations. They also will support the Public Integrity/CVJC partnership by providing training, mentorship and support that builds capacity among local journalists. They will be on staff as a member of Public Integrity’s data journalism team, but will work in collaboration with the CVJC newsroom.
