Investigative Reporter

The Gazette in Colorado is looking for talent to hire for a three-person investigative team. Ideal candidates will have a track record of producing investigative pieces that have provoked change. We want people who can dig like demons but can write like angels and are skilled at making readers feel the impact on real people when wrongdoing and backwards policies go unchecked. One position is devoted to computer-assisted reporting. If you know pivot tables and can sort data to find the crucial details while also revealing new trends, we want to talk to you. We also want candidates who won’t take no for an answer, the type that have caused spokespeople to hang up in disgust. The Gazette is a family-owned newspaper that is making deep investments in reporting during an era of corporate cutbacks. We are looking to grow our influence and reach throughout Colorado. The positions will be based in Denver, with remote officing along with space in a downtown office. There is a tradition of excellence on which we are building. The newspaper won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2014 for a series exposing dishonorable discharges of veterans who suffered brain injuries on the battlefield.
