Service Journalism Reporter

The Sacramento Bee is looking for a collaborative, audience-focused reporter for our service journalism team, whose mission is to help readers navigate life in Sacramento and understand issues that affect our community. This reporter will use engagement tools and audience outreach to surface and answer questions readers are asking in the moment, write stories that help readers connect with the news and contribute to a library of search-friendly evergreen content. The Sacramento Bee Utility Team answers the essential, most frequently asked questions from our readers every day. Our service journalism team has taken a leading role as our newsroom transitions from a culture that assumes we know what readers want to a news organization dedicated to engaging directly with key audiences who help guide our coverage. And in the process, we’re working to reach and serve local readers who have never connected with us before.
