Health Reporter

The Miami Herald is looking for a versatile and enterprising reporter to cover one of the most critical beats of the day: health. This reporter should be comfortable delivering a diverse range of coverage: breaking news on fast-moving health threats like COVID; enterprise that breaks new ground and puts such issues into perspective; consumer-focused service journalism that helps readers navigate a complex healthcare landscape; watchdog reporting that exposes harmful disparities in our healthcare systems; and amid those complex issues, stories that offer hope and things our readers can act upon. Accountability and utility are at the core of this beat, and the reporter who tackles it should have a passion for watchdog and service journalism.
